[google-appengine] Re: Socket Timeout errors on URLFetch calls

Are the URLFetch errors associated with a certain situation, or at least a certain period in time? To report an issue, this has to be reproducible or, at least, associated with certain parameters, such as time. There is little chance to address an issue one can't reproduce reliably. -- You
