Comment 2 Michael Stead 2012-07-10 16:37:45 UTC
httplib in python <= 2.4 seems to have a very long timeout of around 3 mins.
When an invalid proxy or server address is configured, this feels way to long
in both the CLI and UI.
    
Set the default timeout to 60 seconds, but only on python 2.4 or less. This matches more recent versions of python.

This is the best we can do for EL5.
