New submission from David Andrzejewski <[email protected]>:
Python 2.6.4, Windows XP.
If you run the following code:
import httplib
http_connection = httplib.HTTPConnection("192.168.192.196")
http_connection.request("GET", "/")
http_connection.sock.settimeout(20)
response = http_connection.getresponse()
data = response.read()
http_connection.close()
And then run a netstat -a, you'll see that the connection is no longer
established (it'll have a status of TIME_WAIT or something along those lines).
However, if you run the following code:
import httplib
http_connection = httplib.HTTPSConnection("192.168.192.196")
http_connection.request("GET", "/")
http_connection.sock.settimeout(20)
response = http_connection.getresponse()
data = response.read()
http_connection.close()
And run a netstat, the connection will still be in the ESTABLISHED state. The
connection does not end for several minutes (or when you terminate the program).
I can get the connection to end when I want it by doing a del on the connection
object and then manually running garbage collection - although that seems a bit
wonky.
I'm not really sure what all the differences are between HTTPConnection and
HTTPSConnection, but it seems like they should both behave the same way in this
regard.
