Re^2: Timeout for connect in Anyevent::HTTP. Help, please.

About a simple timeout all clear (Documentation: "timeout => $seconds The time-out to use for various stages - each connect attempt will reset the timeout, as will read or write activity, ie this is not an overall timeout." ) But how to set overall timeout, which does not reset?

Without testing anything: `my $w; my $cv = http_request GET => $url, ..., sub { $w = undef; callback(... +) }; # kill the watcher when we're done $w = AE::timer $timeout, 0, sub { $cv = undef }; # kill the http requ +est after $timeout seconds` [download] However, that may not work depending on what else you're doing - if you're waiting on `$cv->recv`, you may want to use `$cv->send() if $cv` inside the timer callback to trigger that. Basically, start the request, then start the timer, then wait, and when the http request returns, clear the $cv variable and/or clear $w to terminate the timer. There are a few things to pay attention to here, to clear cv's and watchers at the appropriate time, but it should otherwise be straight forward.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

$cv->recv

$cv->send() if $cv
