Sending mutlitple requests of httplib, raising traceback exceptions

Question

Here is the code:

conn = httplib.HTTPConnection("127.0.0.1:8000")
conn.request("POST", "/api/job/", some_params, headers)
conn.close()

no problem with sending request to server

but if i use loop for example:

for i in range(n):
   conn = httplib.HTTPConnection("127.0.0.1:8000")
   conn.request("POST", "/api/job/", some_params, headers)
   conn.close()

it rises an exception, but it is interesting that request is successfull:

any suggestions ???

Answer 1

Looks to me like your buffer is getting filled. Your buffer will fill with any network requests you make, then is cleared when the server acknowledges receipt of the data. Not sure if there isn't a better way to do this, but you could try giving the server some time to acknowledge receipt by doing a short time.pause within your loop.
