Thanks, Barry. I already do this. The python syntax is a bit different:
rpc = urlfetch.create_rpc(deadline=15) 15 seconds should be plenty for these fetches. Perhaps I'll try it at a higher number. I think the issue is a connection burp, where it will never connect, so changing the deadline won't let it connect, just increase the wait time for the error. Still not sure how to fail more gracefully, though. I have my fetches in a try/except. But the API's error handling supersedes that, and spits out a 500. This appears to be a Google urlfetch issue again, as the fetches timeout to several urls and domains. When I access those same urls manually, they are near instantaneous. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
