Hi all, I'm doing some failure testing for a python script that uses urllib and urllib2 to open a web page and post data. If the server's apache is down or if I change the ip address the script is trying to contact to be a bogus address, the script handles it prefectly. When I unplug the ethernet cable from my machine (client), the script hangs. Is there a way I can implement a timeout to handle this problem? I'd appreciate any suggestions because I'm clueless. Thanks, Patty
