I need to set the timeout on urllib2.request()
.
I do not use urllib2.urlopen()
since i am using the data
parameter of request
. How can I set this?
Although urlopen
does accept data
param for POST
, you can call urlopen
on a Request
object like this,
import urllib2
request = urllib2.Request('http://www.example.com', data)
response = urllib2.urlopen(request, timeout=4)
content = response.read()
