Bug #92655

Updated by Sybille Peters about 4 years ago

I just had this in production. I am starting to increase page depth of scheduler tasks. One of the scheduler tasks never ended. Also, I noticed that several scheduler tasks were running.  

 So, I traced this down to an URL where the loading never ends. Why this is the case there, I don't know exactly. But is also not so relevant here. 

 This is a problem, because once only a single link in the site points to such a site, linkvalidator checks will not work, several scheduler tasks will run and eat up resources. 


 h2. Reproduce 

 # Create a PHP page with infinite loop, e.g.   

 <pre><code class="php"> 
 <?php 

 print("Start infinite loop\n"); 
 while (true) { 

 } 

 </code></pre> 

 # create a link to to this page 
 # either start a scheduler task with linkvalidator or use "Check links" 

 The link checking or scheduler task will not finish.
