New submission from Guillaume Nourry-Marquis:
The httplib file wasn'T supporting a timeout feature which was essential
for my load testing application I built. In order to do that, I had to
append a parameter to the connect function, which takes a socket timeout
value integer in seconds.
def connect(self,timeout=None):
"""Connect to the host and port specified in __init__."""
msg = "getaddrinfo returns an empty list"
for res in socket.getaddrinfo(self.host, self.port, 0,
socket.SOCK_STREAM):
af, socktype, proto, canonname, sa = res
try:
self.sock = socket.socket(af, socktype, proto)
#Guillaume's timeout
self.sock.settimeout(timeout)
if self.debuglevel > 0:
print "connect: (%s, %s)" % (self.host, self.port)
self.sock.connect(sa)
except socket.error, msg:
if self.debuglevel > 0:
print 'connect fail:', (self.host, self.port)
if self.sock:
self.sock.close()
self.sock = None
continue
break
if not self.sock:
raise socket.error, msg
Simple patch, but it was essential for my work.
