Re: Re: Problems trying to timeout LWP requests

Re: LWP::UserAgent-timeout() - is it working? suggests that timeout() doesn't do exactly what you think. You'll also run into problems with slow DNS lookups and hosts that take a long time to connect to.

For more information, type LWP timeout into Super Search.

The request is working and the host is responding okay but for purposes of testing the timeout I have chosen a value sufficiently low that the request should be cancelled anyway. I have looked at the results of Super Search and I believe this is a common question to which nobody has been able to give a satisfactory answer. I have now emailed Gisle Aas to see if he can throw any light on the question. Cheers Cheshire Cat	[reply]
