infinite loop with httplib?

Anyone have experience with httplib getting stuck reading the first line
of a file?

Most urls work fine (of course), but I tried the following:
http://216.117.129.109/robots.txt

Both Firefox and IE return:
fopen: No such file or directory
httpd: could not open document config file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
A misconfigured server...

But for my test script:
import urllib2
f = urllib2.urlopen ('http://216.117.129.109 ') print f.readline() fopen: No such file or directory print f.readline() fopen: No such file or directory print f.readline() fopen: No such file or directory
print f.read() Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<interacti ve input>", line 1, in ?
File "C:\Python23\li b\httplib.py", line 1156, in read
assert not self._line_cons umed and self._line_left
AssertionError

Worse, the robotparser uses this code and thus ALL available memory: import robotparser
rp = robotparser.Rob otFileParser()
rp.set_url('htt p://216.117.129.109 ')
rp.read()

a few minutes later, the kernel kills the process....

Any ideas?

I'd be fine if this returned an exception rather than a kernel panic.

Hi. I'm having some problems with code based directly on the following httplib documentation code: http://www.zvon.org/other/python/doc21/lib/httplib-examples.html I've included the code and traceback at the end of this post. The odd thing is, using DEPRECATED FUNCTIONS to perform the same function works fine!

If you are not familiar with the halting problem, I will not go into it in detail but it states that it is impossible to write a program that can tell if a loop is infinite or not. This is a fallacy built on the assumption of mythical infinite all powerfull machines. In reality we deal with finite machines that are capable of two states in a loop, they either terminate, or repeat themselves. In the mythical halting problem scenario...

i have a program which always run dead after one or two days, i think somewhere a piece of the code is suspicious of involving into a infinite loop. but for some reason, it is very hard to debug. so i thing there might be tool which can statically analysis the code and notice me this kind of potential problems if found. any suggestion? ( i prefer linux open source tools ) thanks. -

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
