The long-polling approach presented another challenge; how do you cancel an ongoing HTTP request?
As the request is ongoing until given a reply from the server, when the server finally dies, the client will be left without a response and throws an exception. Is it safe to discard the exception, and force the termination? I ended up using os._exit(1) Instead of sys.exit() Which works, but probably bypasses more than just clean-up of the sockets involved. I noticed you’ve gotten a similar question before, Justin. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9389414/how-to-kill-a-requests-request-object-that-is-in-progress -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group.
