Read timeout using either urllib2 or any other http library

Question

I have code for reading an url like this:

from urllib2 import Request, urlopen
req = Request(url)
for key, val in headers.items():
    req.add_header(key, va         


        

Answer 1

Had the same issue with socket timeout on the read statement. What worked for me was putting both the urlopen and the read inside a try statement. Hope this helps!
