It's already in a task. Also, I'm not directly using urlfetch; I'm using pyblog.py which uses xmlrpclib which I guess ultimately uses urlfetch, so I can't set the deadline directly (although there do seem to be timeout mechanisms, they just don't work past 5 seconds as GAE cuts the call off).
One thing I'm hoping someone can answer is, will using the new "backend" functionality result in getting a longer time limit here? Does anyone know?
