CurlException: 28: connect() timed out?

Question

Today I was trying to make application on Facebook using PHPSDK and I saw ocassionaly displayed exception from library saying CurlException: 28: connect() timed out!

So, to check if it's my code bug I downloaded latest library PHPSDK from github. Then I was trying to run examples/example.php file few times, after that I look into error log and this error was also there (not always, looks like it's kind of random thing).

I was trying to find solution on developer forum without any success, as I notice this kind of problem occur in the past, and none knows why.

Any solutions?

Thanks

Same here, totally random but on large access site the error log file come quickly full :/

Bug Open here : http://developers.facebook.com/bugs/182705755149358

Production server Use the same PHP code as shown in the given exemple : https:// developers.facebook.com/blog/post/534/

2 connections on 6 pass. else :

***`print_r($e->getResult());`***

Give :

Array
(
    [error_code] => 28
    [error] => Array
        (
            [message] => connect() timed out!
            [type] => CurlException
        )

) 

Else here are the Options in the Facebook.php

/**
* Default options for curl.
*/
public static $CURL_OPTS = array(
CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT => 10,
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 60,
CURLOPT_USERAGENT => 'facebook-php-3.1',
);

I've Try this :

• Raise ConnectTimeOut => Same Problem.
• Change Api-Read.Facebook.Com to Api.Facebook.Com => Same Problem.
• Try with there Curl Params : CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false,$opts[CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST] = 2; But not a SSL Problem for my case.
• Try to Connect to FB Api/Graph/Api-read server using telnet and port 443 => Same Problem. Respond only 2 time on 6...

Still actualizing the Platform Live-Status page of Facebook ... Api response time raising ... https://developers.facebook.com/live_status
