[smokeping-users] Curl probe failures

[Ben Eisenbraun]

Hi-

I upgraded from 1.42 to 2.03, and after sorting out the new config options, 
I have the Fping probes working correctly, but the Curl probes are not 
reporting any info.  I can see the Curl GET requests in the web server 
log file on the far end.

The process seems to start okay:

Oct 17 16:26:17 hagrid smokeping[45152]: Smokeping version 2.000003 successfully launched. 
Oct 17 16:26:17 hagrid smokeping[45152]: Entering multiprocess mode. 
Oct 17 16:26:17 hagrid smokeping[45152]: Child process 45153 started for probe FPing. 
Oct 17 16:26:17 hagrid smokeping[45153]: FPing: probing 6 targets with step 300 s and offset 40 s. 
Oct 17 16:26:17 hagrid smokeping[45152]: Child process 45154 started for probe Curl. 
Oct 17 16:26:17 hagrid smokeping[45154]: Curl: probing 2 targets with step 300 s and offset 185 s. 
Oct 17 16:26:17 hagrid smokeping[45152]: All probe processes started successfully. 

But when it comes time to run the probes, the Curl probe fails:

Oct 17 16:28:05 hagrid smokeping[45647]: Can't use an undefined value as filehandle reference at /usr/local/smokeping/lib/Smokeping/probes/Curl.pm line 266.

--debug output looks like this:

Curl: forks 5, timeout for each target 201
Curl: executing command list '/usr/local/bin/curl','-m','10','-o','/dev/null','-w','Time: %{time_total} DNS time: %{time_namelookup}\n','http://or8.net/'

Can't use an undefined value as filehandle reference at /usr/local/smokeping/lib/Smokeping/probes/Curl.pm line 266.
<snip the rest of the error messages which are the same as the syslog errors>

This is running on FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE.  Any help or hints on how to further 
debug the problem would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
