Why didn't you post your solution???
This is the top result in Google search for "SocketTimeout: Socket timed
out before request." and still there is no resolution of the problem.
So, after spending two hours on this, let me save other novices from going
down the same route:
This error happens when you forget to close if-else block with a "pass"
statement
Example:
This will generate the error:
{{
if myVar:
response.write(uploadContent)
}}
This will work as expected:
{{
if myVar:
response.write(uploadContent)
pass
}}
A small suggestion for devs: update error message to mention possible
missing "pass" statement.
Thank you and BR
