HTTP client on specific network shows poor performance #494
Description
Depending on network configuration, making HTTP requests can be extremely slow.
Using the code below, I compared React HTTP with Guzzle HTTP. React is far slower
This only occurs on my work's network, when doing this test on the exact same machine at home, this is not an issue. (It's about 6km of physical distance so that's negligible)
I can't get access to the router config to look around at the settings, if there's any specific configuration that you'd like to know about this network I could ask.
<?php
use GuzzleHttp\Client;
use React\Http\Browser;
use RingCentral\Psr7\Request;
use function React\Async\await;
require './vendor/autoload.php';
if (count($argv) < 2) {
die('Specify which HTTP lib to use');
}
$requests = [
new Request(
'GET',
'https://google.com/'
),
new Request(
'GET',
'https://postman-echo.com/get'
),
];
$time = microtime(true);
if ($argv[1] === 'react') {
$browser = new Browser();
foreach ($requests as $request) {
await($browser->request($request->getMethod(), $request->getUri()));
}
} elseif ($argv[1] === 'guzzle') {
$client = new Client();
foreach ($requests as $request) {
$client->request($request->getMethod(), $request->getUri());
}
} else {
die('Invalid test subject');
}
echo sprintf('Completed in %f seconds', microtime(true) - $time), PHP_EOL;
