Hi list, I'm 99% sure httplib is sporadically hanging when I call read() on the HTTPResponse object (r.status == 200).
Evidence: straceing the process shows it's blocked in recvfrom() ls -la /proc/pid/fd shows the socket-id for recvfrom() file descriptor (3) lsof -n | grep socket-id shows the connection to the HTTP server (on localhost:8080) tcpdump -s 10000 -XXX -i lo port 8080 shows a response IS coming over the wire This seems to be a common problem (according to the internets) but I haven't seen a resolution or explanation posted. I've tried httplib.py from Python 2.3 and also dropped in the one from Python 2.5 with no difference. Running on Linux kernel 2.6 (CentOS's, specifically). Any responses CC me as I'm not subscribed [since Python has worked so flawlessly for me otherwise <g>] -- Michael Bacarella <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Director of Technology 1-212-488-2222 (office) 1-646-641-8662 (mobile) http://gpshopper.com/ http://slifter.com/ GPSHOPPER, LLC 307 Seventh Avenue Suite 2104 New York, NY 10001 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
