How can I set a larger timeout in net/http? What I'm doing is this:
rta = JSON.parse(Net::HTTP.get(URI(url))) I've tried:
uri = URI(url) http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port) http.open_timeout = 5* 60 http.read_timeout = 5* 60 rta = JSON.parse(Net::HTTP.get(URI(url))) but it still doesn't work.
It looks like it probably isn't working because you're making your get call on the Class instead of the instance you created. Try changing that last line to:
rta = JSON.parse(http.get(URI(url))) Maybe you can use OpenURI :
require 'open-uri' open(url, :read_timeout => 5 * 60) do |file| rta = JSON.parse file # ... end
