Increase timeout in net.HTTPClient():request()

[jayrock 10]

Hi,

 

the code below returns a code 500 response when run in ZeroBrane; on HC3, it simply crashes. I suspect it's a timeout issue, the server can take between 5 and 12 seconds to respond. How can I increase the timeout to say 15 seconds?

Output on ZeroBrane suggests timeout after two seconds

Two example respone time measurements

Thanks for your suggestions!

Fixed, found a way to speed up the server. Would stil be interested to know if the timeout in request() can be increased.

Like this:

 

1 2 3

function QuickApp:onInit()     self.http = net.HTTPClient({timeout=3000}) end

Well, 500 is "internal server error", and can be whatever. So, the 500 code is returned from the server.

If the http request doesn't don't get a response within x seconds the http code will return the 'timeout' (because the server didn't answer).

The default timeout is more than 2s, so I suspect there is something else going on...

Thanks both for your answers

 

Well yes, the timeout is just a theory. It's just strange that curl works and the lua function doesn't. And I never sae curl coming back with a 500 error.

 

Anyway I changed the server logic to make it respond more quickly (by polling the value separately), and now it is miraculously solved. But I agree: I don't think I understood yet what was going on in the first place.
