Neither showHTMLtitle.nse nor robots.nse set a timeout for their HTTP GET requests and rely on the default of 30s. I was thinking of submitting patches using "timing_level()", but it's not yet in play. So my questions: What's the current status of Thomas' patch?
It has just changed from falling-through-the-cracks to applied :).
Would anyone disagree with the idea of setting a timeout for those two scripts and to use timing_level() (if the patch were to be applied)? (I was thinking of something like "math.modf(25000/timing_level())" (for T1-5 ) giving 30s, 25s, 12s, 8s, 6s and 5s for T0-T5) Would it be a good or bad idea to have a default timeout for http.request() using timing_level()?
Sounds good, except I don't think we need a mathetical model for the 6 timeout values. How about: Connection timeouts: T0-T3: 10s T4-T5: 5s GET request read timeouts: T0-T3: 15s T4: 10s T5: 7s Anyone want to implement this sort of thing now that we have timing_level()?
