Chris Withers <ch...@simplistix.co.uk> added the comment: I tried to use the following to change the buffersize for a download:
from base64 import encodestring from httplib import HTTPResponse,HTTPConnection,HTTPSConnection,_UNKNOWN from datetime import datetime class FHTTPResponse(HTTPResponse): def __init__(self, sock, debuglevel=0, strict=0, method=None): print "creating response" self.fp = sock.makefile('rb',4096) self.debuglevel = debuglevel self.strict = strict self._method = method self.msg = None # from the Status-Line of the response self.version = _UNKNOWN # HTTP-Version self.status = _UNKNOWN # Status-Code self.reason = _UNKNOWN # Reason-Phrase self.chunked = _UNKNOWN # is "chunked" being used? self.chunk_left = _UNKNOWN # bytes left to read in current chunk self.length = _UNKNOWN # number of bytes left in response self.will_close = _UNKNOWN # conn will close at end of respons class FHTTPConnection(HTTPConnection): response_class = FHTTPResponse class FHTTPSConnection(HTTPSConnection): response_class = FHTTPResponse conn = FHTTPSConnection('localhost') headers = {} auth = 'Basic '+encodestring('usernmae:password').strip() headers['Authorization']= t = datetime.now() print t conn.request('GET','/somefile.zip',None,headers) print 'request:',datetime.now()-t response = conn.getresponse() print 'response:',datetime.now()-t data = response.read() print 'read:',datetime.now()-t ..however, I saw absolutely no change in download speed. Aren, I notice in your pastebin code that you do response.read(10485700) in a loop rather than just one response.read(), why is that? ---------- nosy: +cjw296 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2576> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
