Hi All:
I have been trying to use System.timeout in windows, but for some
reason it doesn't work, a concrete example is:
import Network.HTTP
import System.Timeout
main = do
rsp <- timeout 10000000 $ simpleHTTP $ getRequest "http://10.1.2.3";
case rsp of
Just rsp -> print $ show rsp
Nothing -> error "Nothing"
In this case I would expect to receive "Nothing" after 10 seconds, but
it ignores the timeout function.
Hi Adolfo,
the same behaviour for me with GHC 6.10.4 on Windows XP. If I set the
timeout value to 0, I get
*** Exception: Nothing
immediately. Any other value results in
*** Exception: connect: failed (Connection timed out (WSAETIMEDOUT))
after about 20 seconds. I don't know where the problem is, but I have
similar problems with the threadDelay function. There must be something
broken somewhere for some windows systems.
Regards,
Matthias
