Ripcord is not working in live server

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm using ripcord to connect php to odoo server via webservice api. The library 
is working perfectly in local, but in server is not working and is getting a 
lot of time to work.

Any idea if it's modules php or other thing?

This is my issue... Any idea? Which modules do ripcord need in the server?

Hello, could you tell which php modules are necessary?

Same here. Odoo with Ripcord. Sometimes works. Sometimes times out. On some system it works today. Tomorrow it doesn't. Same code on another server, works. Sometimes doesn't. I'm using docker containers and docker-compose, so different systems are totally equivalent and independent of the host system.
When it failes the error is cannot access the URL and the code is -4. While the url has been accessed successfully because the purpose of the connection was to order Odoo to create a new record somewhere and the record has been created successfully there but ripcord cannot receive the response of the server.

The timeout happens on file_get_contents.
As per below conversation:

It should be due to ipv6 DNS problems. I'm now looking at a way to disable ipv6 when and where ripcord works.

I stop to use ripcord to make request to an Odoo instance because I found a lot of problem. I switch to OdooClient

Make sure you installed xmlrpc library.

If not install

sudo apt-get install php-xmlrpc
sudo service apache2 restart
