Need to be careful with thread switching when testing the xmlrpc server. The server thread may not have updated stats when the client thread tests them.
Also, explicitly connect to the IPV4 address. On windows platforms supporting AF_INET6, the SocketProxy would connect using socket.create_connection('localhost', port) which would cycle through all address families and try to connect. It would try connecting using AF_INET6 first and this would cause a delay of up to a second.
class.
These methods can be overridden. The tests verify that the overridden
methods are called, and that changes to the connection have a visible
effect on the request.
reliable, but I'm not convinced it is the right solution. We need
to determine if this causes the test to hang on any platforms or do
other bad things.
Even if it gets the test to pass reliably, it might be that we want
to fix this in socket. The socket returned from accept() is different
on different platforms (inheriting attributes or not) and we might
want to ensure that the attributes (at least blocking) is the same
across all platforms.
Remove automatic handling of datetime.date and datetime.time.
This breaks backward compatibility, but python-dev discussion was strongly
against this automatic conversion; see the bug for a link.
global to determine when the server is ready to be used. This slows the test
down, but should make it correct. There was a race condition before where the
server could have assigned a port, yet it wasn't ready to serve requests. If
the client sent a request before the server was completely ready, it would get
an exception. There was machinery to try to handle this condition. All of
that should be unnecessary and removed if this change works. A NOTE was
added as a comment about what needs to be fixed.
The buildbots will tell us if there are more errors or
if this test is now stable.
exceptions raised in the test server thread, since SimpleXMLRPCServer
does not gracefully handle them. Changed number of requests handled
by tests server thread to one (was 2) because no tests require more
than one request. [GSoC - Alan McIntyre]
