httplib VERY slow

Hi, I'm writing a download manager in python, and httplib is being
very slow when pulling from localhost or even other servers on the
local network. I'm getting about 10MB in 14s with httplib, while wget
hits 80MB in less than 3s. You can find the code I made to benchmark
this here: http://pastebin.ca/973486 (noslor is mapped to my IP in /
etc/hosts)

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this, and how I can
fix it? I'm using python2.5 under Ubuntu Linux 8.04 with apache2 for
the webserver.

Thanks in advance.

I am using xmlrpclib (based on httplib) in Python 2.3 on Mandrake Linux. When my client attempts to connect to a server using a "http://localhost:port" style URL there is a long delay before the connection is established (it finally works). This certainly smells a name resolution problem but ping localhost, telnet localhost etc all work fine.

Hi, I am having a problem with the httplib HTTPConnection object. While I can easily send requests that don't have any payload (ie. "get"), I encounter issues if I want to post xml data. If you look at the class below, when req == 'getFreeBusyInfo' all functions perfectly, but when req == 'conflictRequest' I run into problems of the nature "400 Bad Request". As you will notice, I also tried the shorter HTTPConnection instance method...

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'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!

Hi all, Has anyone ever seen Python 2.4.1's httplib choke when reading chunked content? I'm using it via urrlib2, and I ran into a particular server that returns something that httplib doesn't expect. Specifically, in the code below where the error occurs, line == ''.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
