New submission from STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com>: Since Python 2.7 / 3.2, httplib supports HTTP(S)/1.1 (keep-alive). This version of HTTP is much faster because the connection is kept between two requests. I'm using it with XML-RPC + SSL (M2Crypto). It works nice.
My problem is when the server closes the connection (eg. the server restarts). If I send a small (XML-RPC) request, sending the request works (I don't understand why, maybe because of a buffer somewhere), but getting the response raises a BadStatusLine because the response is empty (0 byte). If I send a big (XML-RPC) request, sending the request fails with a SSLError(EPIPE, '...') and Transport.request() doesn't retry with a new connection. I patched my copy of M2Crypto to ensure that SSLError inherits from socket.error, but it's not enough: Transport.request() only catchs errno.ECONNRESET and errno.ECONNABORTED socket errors. Attached patch catchs also errno.EPIPE. This error is received on sending to the socket whereas the server closed the socket. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: xmlrpc_request_epipe.patch keywords: patch messages: 108146 nosy: haypo priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: xmlrpc: Transport.request() should also catch socket.error(EPIPE) versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file17715/xmlrpc_request_epipe.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9032> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
