Hi,
I'm trying to do a simple link checking for python 2.1.3 (compiled from
source on linux), but it fails when I use an invalid ssl url. For
example: I have zope without ssl running on port 8080, if I do this on
the browser's address bar:
https://my_ip:8080 --> The https is intentional
mozilla on linux and IE on windows, take a long time till a timeout
occurs. I tried to check this timeout with the timeoutsocket.p y (version
1.23, the latest I could find) on linux, but it hangs:
import timeoutsocket
import smtplib
import urllib2
timeoutsocket.s etDefaultSocket Timeout(5)
urllib2.urlopen ('https://my_ip:8080')
Same happens with:
import httplib
import timeoutsocket
import smtplib
timeoutsocket.s etDefaultSocket Timeout(5)
connection=http lib.HTTPSConnec tion('my_ip:808 0')
connection.requ est('GET','/')
I searched on the newsgrous and found that timeoutsocket doesn't work
with ssl sockets. So, I tried with signal alarms and the httplib and it
succeeded on linux, but it doesn't work on windows because this os lacks
of "signal.SIGALRM " :-(. I now about "socket.setdefa ulttimeout", but
this is a new feature and it doesn't exist on python 2.1.3 and I have to
provide compatibility to this version (zope 2.6.x uses it).
Finally I found a message from Geoffrey Talvola, where he said that he
has a patch which corrects this, but unfortunatelly I tried to contact
him without any success. Does any body has such patch or perhaps a
better idea of how to solve this problem?
Regards,
Josef
