Message221006
The problem here as far as I can tell is that the underlying file object (addinfourl) blocks while waiting for a full response from the server. As detailed in section 8.1 of RFC 2616, requests and responses can be pipelined, meaning requests can be sent while waiting for full responses from a server.
The suggested change of overriding headers is only a partial solution as it doesn't allow for non-blocking pipelining.
@Martin Panter: My suggestion for you would simply be to use http.client (httplib) as R. David Murray suggests, which doesn't auto-inject the Connection header. Also, a server truncating responses when "Connection: close" is sent sounds like a server-side bug to me. Unless you're a server maintainer (or have access to the developers), have you tried reaching out to them to request a fix? |
