We have a problem with a specific soap request to one of our webservices, and my impression is that PHP is misbehaving on the TCP level. I'll show you a tcpdump of such session. Can anyone tell me what could be the reason for PHP to behave in this way, unless we've stumbled on a bug?

Mark the FIN flag in the third packet, to which our HAProxy server reacts with three ReSeTs. The post never reaches the destination, which is understandable.

The PHP binary doesn't assemble TCP packets itself. I think it's a
problem with either the host machine's TCP stack or some firewall
between you and the SOAP server.

There's nothing in between those two machines, but I'll doublecheck. I hope you're right, it gives me somewhere else to check for known bugs, I couldn't find any like this in connection with php-soap.

There is a LOT between the client and the server scripts. PHP is only a
small part of it.

Salvatore is correct - PHP has nothing to do with the PHP packets
itself. And I would be willing to bet the problem is NOT in your TCP/IP
stack - such a problem wouldn't show up only on your machine with this
particular SOAP request.

My bet is you're assembling the SOAP requests incorrectly. Another
option would be your SOAP client isn't decoding them properly.

The soap request is "assembled" by Symfony2, if I'm not mistaken.

Suppose something is wrong with the soap-envelope. How could that make TCP misbehave?

I ran tcpdump on the soap-client-machine. It is on that machine that the fin flag in the third packet was set.

I'll concentrate on the TCP stack. Where do I start? vmxnet3?

Start by debugging your problem and determining the failing component.
PHP has NOTHING to do with the format of a TCP/IP packet.

Once you've determined the failing component, ask in a forum or
newsgroup appropriate to the failure.

If you are unable to do that, I would suggest hiring a consultant to
assist you (and no, I am not available).

Ask in an appropriate place. This is a PHP group (hence the "PHP" in
its name).

Why on earth would one hire a consultant while one can get such valuable advice as yours for free in the newsgroups?

So you have someone who knows what they're doing. You obviously have no
clue.

It turns out that the SoapClient is sending data on a half-closed connection. The server had earlier sent a FIN packet, that had been ACKnowledged by the client.

Now, from a TCP point of view, it is permissible to send data with of before your own FINish.

But POSTing something to which you're expecting a reply, on a half-closed connection?

It turned out to be a bug in PHP, which I managed to patch (that is, if the patch is accepted).
