Knobs to adjust timeouts for slow servers
Last modified: 2006-08-03 03:52:26 UTC
I'm working with Slurp, and the Slurp server is taking so long to answer some requests (I think in one instance it's waiting for a hard disk to spin up!) that Pan thinks an article has been removed from the news store. Repeated requests will eventually bring up the article requested. Some other requests result in astonishing actions. I'd like some access to the timeouts used in Pan, and would prefer they be settable on a per-server basis. Justification for per-server adjustments: no problems with the Spamcop news server.
Closing due to lack of interest: this request wasn't seconded after a "last chance to second these requests" announcement in pan-users last week. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/pan-users/2006-07/msg00263.html
