+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #250300 +++ Description of problem: The addition of the default timeout of 30 seconds causes connection timeouts against busy servers or those with many registered clients. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.2.5-1.el5 How reproducible: Always against busy servers. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create secure server with 2. 3. Actual results: # rhnreg_ks --activationkey=test-activation-key Connection timed out on readline Expected results: No timeout. Additional info: The issue is with the DEFAULT_TIMEOUT in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/rhn/SSL.py and its use in connections.py. Whilst a timeout of 30 seconds might not be unreasonable for the SSL connection to take place it is not suitable for the ongoing connection. The socket timeout should be reset to a more reasonable value once the SSL connection is in place. Attached is a server-side cgi which just delays for a requested amount of time and a small python script to exercise this cgi via the rhnlib code. -- Additional comment from mpoole on 2007-07-31 13:43 EST -- Created an attachment (id=160345) python test example -- Additional comment from mpoole on 2007-07-31 13:45 EST -- Created an attachment (id=160346) server-side delay routine
