A TODO comment will do very little to unhang a process. You need to actually put some
error-handling decisions here.
Connectivity over the Internet is not a dead-on certainty. Programs that do not
account for the possibility that a connection will not br possible are pretty much
doomed to hang. I would recommend putting some give-up-on-attempt code into your
program.
