[FIXED] Bitcoin 0.3.18: RPC freeze

[MagicalTux]

Hi,

I'm having troubles with bitcoin 0.3.18. I have a PHP program connecting automatically to various bitcoin nodes via curl+ssl and checking node status with getinfo. When I upgraded some nodes to 0.3.18, I had timeouts on this system, and looking more into it, I found the system was stuck on those upgraded nodes.

I downgraded them back to 0.3.17 and everything worked again.

Running bitcoind to get informations about the node doesn't seem to have any advert effect on the node.

[22:12:26] <gavinandresen> (correct syntax is rcpssl=1, I made the command/option file parsing consistent in 0.3.18)

Indeed, replacing rpcssl=true to rpcssl=1 fixed the issue.

Someone should update GetBoolArg() to accept 'false', 'true', 'yes' and 'no'.
