Hey App Engine Developers, Regarding the deadline parameter, urlfetch docs<http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/urlfetch/fetchfunction.html> say:
The maximum amount of time to wait for a response from the remote host, as a number of seconds. If the remote host does not respond in this amount of time, a DownloadError is raised. Does this refer to the amount of time the remote host has to simply accept the connection, or to transfer the entire response? I'd also like to call your attention to a couple new issues: #4878 <http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=4878>: if you pass allow_truncated=True and the response ends up being truncated, the Content-Length header of the returned response is inevitably overwritten with 33554432, which is unhelpful since content_was_truncated implies this. Would it be possible to stop overwriting this header to reduce information loss? My application depends on knowing the total content length of the resource in question, even if the urlfetch result is truncated. #4879 <http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=4879>: A bug in urlfetch is causing it to generate KeyErrors for some requests.
