I was just trying to make a post onto my blog that contained a link to Orkut.com. When I hit the submit button I got the following errors:

warning: fsockopen(): no SSL support in this build in /home/.ram/sneakin/web/nolan.eakins.net/includes/common.inc on line 272.

warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to www.orkut.com:443 in /home/.ram/sneakin/web/nolan.eakins.net/includes/common.inc on line 272.

warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/.ram/sneakin/web/nolan.eakins.net/includes/common.inc:384) in /home/.ram/sneakin/web/nolan.eakins.net/includes/common.inc on line 192.

Could someone tell me why the fuck Drupal is trying to connect to Orkut? If I make a post on my site, I do not want it connecting to every site that I linke to.

Do you use the trackback module? It tries to send trackbacks to all links in your node body per default.

Yes I use the trackback module. I did not know it went through all the links. So this problem is really a couple of issues:

  • There is no Trackback input filter
  • It insists on connecting with SSL because I got this same error on a site that does not use SSL like Orkut.

Nevermind the SSL bullet. I did link to an SSL site, but it didn't look like one if you don't pay attention to the address bar. I would change that one to checking to see if PHP supports SSL before even trying to open an SSL link in drupal_http_request. Especially since this is an annoying error because it doesn't confirm that the node was created or not.

Auto-detection, the nightmare that won't go away :)

In anycase, to turn off automatic detection, just go to admin >> trackbacks >> configure and select the radio labelled "Disable Auto-Detection".

In the meantime, I've committed a fix to DRUPAL-4-6 and HEAD that turns off auto-detection out-of-the-box.
To see what changed, please see:
