POsetting response timeout in ruby XMLRPC not working
text
Body
copied!<p>I am trying to programmatically upload a large-sized (10+ MB) file to a server that supports XMLRPC. </p> <p>For those interested, the background is:</p> <ul> <li>The server is Confluence. </li> <li>I am trying to upload a file as attachment to a Confluence page.</li> <li>I am using <a href="https://developer.atlassian.com/display/CONFDEV/Confluence+XML-RPC+and+SOAP+APIs" rel="nofollow">the Confluence XMLRPC API</a>. The API call is <a href="https://developer.atlassian.com/display/CONFDEV/Remote+Confluence+Methods" rel="nofollow">addAttachment</a>.</li> </ul> <p>The code looks something like this</p> <pre><code>require 'xmlrpc/client' server = XMLRPC::Client.new2(server_url,"",600) # one attempt to set timeout server.instance_variable_get(:@http).instance_variable_set(:@verify_mode, OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE) server.timeout=6000 # another attempt to set timeout @conf = server.proxy("confluence2") </code></pre> <p>I know that the XMLRPC client will wait for <code>TIMEOUT</code> seconds before it aborts. So its natural that I got the following response when trying to upload the large file (smaller files don't throw this error).</p> <pre><code>C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/1.9.1/openssl/buffering.rb:318:in `syswrite': An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine. (Errno::ECONNABORTED) from C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/1.9.1/openssl/buffering.rb:318:in `do_write' from C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/1.9.1/openssl/buffering.rb:336:in `write' from C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/protocol.rb:199:in `write0' from C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/protocol.rb:173:in `block in write' from C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/protocol.rb:190:in `writing' from C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/protocol.rb:172:in `write' from C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/http.rb:1938:in `send_request_with_body' from C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/1.9.1/net/http.rb:1920:in `exec' </code></pre> <p>However, I am unable to properly set the response timeout. I have tried</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.0.0/libdoc/xmlrpc/rdoc/XMLRPC/Client.html#method-i-timeout-3D" rel="nofollow">server.timeout</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.0.0/libdoc/xmlrpc/rdoc/XMLRPC/Client.html#method-i-new2" rel="nofollow">the timeout parameter in the new2 call</a></li> </ul> <p>Neither of which work. I have verified that the client still waits the default 30 seconds for the response, and then throws the error. So, what am I doing wrong?</p>
