Title Body

For some reason my curl call is very slow. Here is the code I used. $postData = "test" $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postData); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false); $result = curl_exec($ch); Executing this code takes on average 250ms to finish. However when I just open the url in a browser, firebug says it only takes about 80ms. Is there something I am doing wrong? Or is this the overhead associated with PHP Curl. It's the call to curl_exec That is taking up all the time. UPDATE: So I figured out right after I posted this that if I set the curl option curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postData); It significantly slows down curl_exec The post data could be anything and it will slow it down. Even if I set curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, false); It's slow. I'll try to work around it by just adding the parameters to the URI as a query string. SECOND UPDATE: Confirmed that if I just call the URI using GET and passing parameters as a query string it is much faster than using POST and putting the parameters in the body.
