SSL read timeout
in [Perl]

Prev: FAQ 4.1 Why am I getting long decimals (eg, 19.9499999999999) instead of the numbers I should be getting (eg, 19.95)?

From: Kevin Collins on 1 Feb 2010 16:47 Hi, I have a perl script running to query a SOAP process, but using a basic Net::HTTPS connection. If the server takes more than 60 econds to respond, the script fails with the following error: SSL read timeout: at /opt/CTperl-5.8.4/lib/site_perl/5.8.4/Net/HTTP/Methods.pm line 226 Net::SSL::die_with_error('Net::HTTPS=GLOB(0x60000000000608a0)', 'SSL read timeout') called at /opt/CTperl-5.8.4/lib/site_perl/5.8.4/IA64.ARCHREV_0-LP64/Net/SSL.pm line 218 .... .... My invocation looks like this: my $connection = Net::HTTPS->new(Host => $Server, timeout => 300) || die $@; Is there another means to set the SSL timeout? It would appear the 'timeout => 300' is not affecting the SSL component. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Kevin

See perldoc -f alarm Note however that Perl's safe signal handling could cause the alarm signal to be missed and the only workaround is to use POSIX sigaction() and revert to unsafe signals.

This would avoid POSIX sigaction and unsafe signals. If the connection child doesn't finish before the alarm goes off, the parent just kills the child. -- Charles DeRykus

Net::HTTP/Net::HTTPS inherit from IO::Socket::INET which specifies only an uppercase "Timeout" option. perl -MNet::HTTPS -wle "$c=Net::HTTPS->new(Timeout=>10); print $c->timeout" 10 -- Charles DeRykus |
