Re: [google-appengine] Application Error: 5 when calling WordPress via xmlrpclib
Hi Emlyn,
You could move the request to a task, then increase the deadline.
That would probably be the easiest solution.

Re: [google-appengine] Application Error: 5 when calling WordPress via xmlrpclib
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?

Re: [google-appengine] Application Error: 5 when calling WordPress via xmlrpclib
Hi Emlyn,
You'll be subject to the same RPC limits. Two solutions for
increasing the deadline: 1) use a pre-call hook to set a longer
deadline on the URL Fetch RPC, 2) modify the lib you're using to
directly use URL Fetch and bump up the deadline.

RE: [google-appengine] Application Error: 5 when calling WordPress via xmlrpclib
URL Fetch is good for 10 seconds. WP often is not that fast. Likely you
will need to write a PHP Proxy that excepts Post requests and use it to
forward to the XMLRPC receiver on Wordpress, that way you can send the data
and have PHP do the waiting. (that's assuming you are adding not querying).

Gah, really, is that the only way? I'd really, really like to not have to
have a proxy sitting somewhere else doing the heavy lifting (well, the heavy
waiting really).

Re: [google-appengine] Application Error: 5 when calling WordPress via xmlrpclib
I think the 10 second deadline is only for 'online' (aka user)
requests, in tasks it is 10 *minutes* isn't it?
