I'm using httplib as an HTTP client for a custom HTTP server. One thing I need is to be able to immediately force disconnect a request that takes too long on the server side (and hasn't returned any data) or if the connection becomes problematic to the point that no data returns for a long period of time. The blocking part happens when getresponse is being called on the HTTPConnection object. In Linux, on a separate thread, I can call shutdown on the socket of the connection object and the getresponse call immediately raises an error. However, in Windows (XP SP3 in particular), this seems to be not the case. It still waits for the server to communicate something back. Do I need to call a Windows-specific function to achieve the same as in Linux?
Thanks.
