httplib.HTTPSCo nnection with timeout support (pyton 2.5.1)

Hi,

I am using a HTTPS connection to invoke a cgi-script. I want to use a
timeout between the sending the request and receiving the response, so
what I want to do is when the request is send, the client should wait
for a specified time, drop the connection and then do some thing
else.

I found out that the timout should work on HTTPS connection (python
2.5), and thus tried to use it, but that does not seems to work. The
cgi-script receives the request, do some work, and returns the
response, but not within the "timelimit" the client wants, and the
timeout set for the HTTPS conncetion does not apply at all. Could be
becasue the timeout is only used on the (TCP/IP) connection and not
the request/response communication?

Is there a way to use timeout as the way I want to (between sending
the request and receiving the response)?

Thanks..

/Omar

How can I set httplib timeout for httplib.request() ? httplib.request timeouts after 3:10 with "socket" timeout error message. I found socket.settimeout() and I believe there is a way to add ".settimeout()" function to httplib without hacking httplib source. Is it possible? --

Hi, I have an app that makes a https POST to a remote server that I have no control over. The app runs fine in python 2.1.3 with socket.ssl compiled with openssl-0.9.6, however it will not run in python 2.3.3 compiled with openssl-0.9.7d. The script below demonstrates the problem. ============================================ import httplib path = "/cmaonline.nsf/ePayForm?OpenForm"

This is driving me up the wall... any help would be MUCH appreciated. I have a module that I've whittled down into a 65-line script in an attempt to isolate the cause of the problem. (Real domain names have been removed in everything below.) SYNOPSIS: I have 2 target servers, at https://A.com and https://B.com. I have 2 clients, wget and my python script.

Hi, Sorry to post what might seem like a trivial problem here, but its driving me mad! I have a simple https client that uses httplib to post data to a web server. When I post over http & https using curl the data is recieved by the web server with no problems.

Hello, The HTTPSConnection class in httplib overload the connect method of HTTPConnection, but it can only deals with IPv4: def connect(self): "Connect to a host on a given (SSL) port." sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) sock.connect((self.host, self.port))

Helo, This is the first time I have cared about httplib's HTTPSConnection. In the docs I read "Note: HTTPS support is only available if the socket module was compiled with SSL support." Although my small test script "seems" to work when connecting to a webserver via HTTPS I am really not sure.
