My site is apparently having trouble reading Aaron’s site. I’m getting a timeout error with fsockopen(). At first I thought it was an issue reading https sites, but I don't have the problem connecting to Marty’s site or https://pin13.net. The latter is the same IP as Aaron’s site. I've bumped the timeout to 60s but I'm still getting the same result. Any suggestions?

Updated 4/17, 11:35AM:
Aaron removed the IPv6 DNS record because he doesn't have a web server listening at that address. Sounds like fsockopen() was behaving correctly, then. I'm able to connect and send webmentions to him again.

Updated April 13, 5:27PM:
I'm thinking it has to do with IPv6 on Aaron’s domain. Perhaps fsockopen is using the first IP it discovers, despite there not being a web server listening on IPv6. I can use socket_create() to open a connection to the IPv4 address.

Debug info:

PHP version: 5.6.29
allow_url_fopen set to: 1
Code: $fp = fsockopen($domain, $port, $error_number, $error_string, 30);

fsockopen pin13.net port 443.
fsockopen successful

fsockopen martymcgui.re port 443.
fsockopen successful

fsockopen aaronparecki.com port 443.
Error: Connection timed out (110)

I was thrown by “there's a showcase after this class.” It's a 30-minute improv games show but I just wasn’t expecting that going in.

We don't have to perform, but at the moment I feel odd about continuing the class if everyone else is going to perform and I'm like “nah.”

Started level 300 improv and hoo boy do I feel in over my head. Love the people, though, so trying to press on.

The story and result of r/place is pretty cool: http://sudoscript.com/reddit-place/

Wish I’d known about it while it was happening.
