[Bug 1481289] [NEW] PHP 5.5.9 Default socket timeout being not honoured by application

[Phil]

Public bug reported:

Hello,

There exists in PHP 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.11, a known bug,
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=41631 which has been patched and applied
to PHP version 5.5.17 / 5.5.18 and also upstream 5.5/5.6/master
branches.

PHP allows a socket timeout to set which is not honoured in code
execution. This is business critical for the system I work on.

The timeout is set with a single line of code:
ini_set('default_socket_timeout', 10);

A patch exists that can be applied to non fixed PHP versions.

Can the patch, found here: https://bugs.php.net/patch-
display.php?bug_id=41631&patch=bug41631.patch&revision=latest, be
applied to the version of PHP 5.5.9 in Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS and rolled out
please?

Thank you,
