Bug #81799 for libwww-perl: read timeout does not work

Sat Dec 08 10:18:33 2012 YKAR [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

read timeout does not work

Read timeout does not work in 6.04 (Net::HTTP::Mehtods calls 'can_read' without parameters, as Net::HTTP::Mehtods::can_read don't need this parameters (it obtains it from $self), but LWP::Protocol::http::SocketMethods::can_read is called instead, which if called without timeout parameter waits indefinitely). 6794fa73e92d63e973b38f97299b4181bdd7ee8b fix this issue, unfortunately it was committed late, after 6.04 was released It's very important feature. Without read timeout detection, requests just freezing for very long period (until connection closed with TCP keepalive or when firewall state expires and read returns with EPERM errno). Please make a release with this fix. Thanks!

Related: I have t/local/http.t extended with a timeout test. It's not yet polished, but for interesting parties here to see: https://github.com/eserte/libwww-perl/commits/timeout-test Regards, Slaven

This is a very frustrating bug. Can a 6.05 release be made just to address the fix that's been sitting in git for nearly 3 months? Thomas

I am waiting on the release of 6794fa73e92d63e973b38f97299b4181bdd7ee8b as well. We have encountered the same bug. Any ETA on its release?
