OK, that was it. Here's a quick server to duplicate the problem:
require 'webrick'
s = WEBrick::HTTPServer::new(:Port => 2000)
s.mount_proc('/'){|req, resp| sleep(20); resp.body = "Hi!"}
trap("INT"){s.stop}
s.start
Here's a client that catches it for me:
require 'net/http'
h = Net::HTTP::new('localhost', 2000)
h.read_timeout = 10
begin
puts "Trying..."
resp = h.post('/', '')
puts "Reply: #{resp.body}"
rescue TimeoutError => e
puts "Error: #{e.inspect}"
end
My suggestion, rather than retrying the post, would be to simply bump up the
timeout using #read_timeout=. Retrying has the danger of continually trying
to get a page that takes 70 seconds to load using a 60 second timeout.
HTH,
Nathaniel
