Timeout in microformats.rb

[Alcides Fonseca]

I am working on a simple project and I'm using mofo to fetch
microformats from other pages. I've noticed that for specially blogs
the default timeout of 3 seconds to open the file is not enought. I've
change it to 30 seconds and it works now.

The point here is that I manually changed the time out. I believe it
should be something we could change in the code, without affecting the
whole library.

Take this in consideration since it's not that hard to do.

Thanks

Can you explain what you mean?

To change the timeout, you can currently do this:

Mofo.timeout = 30

Weird...

That works on the console, but in the CGI script I am running in my
host ( microformat and mofo go along with it), it doesn't work.

I thought this wasn't implemented since when I reached the code in
line 133 (microformat.rb) there was an integer.


Another suggestion that would be useful was to add a to_s to each
microformat and a to_html (i'm currently doing that by hand for
hCard). I believe it would be useful in a lot of situations like mine.

Make sure you have the 0.2.10 gem. Line 133 in this gem is inside
#find_every, not #build_doc (which handles the timeout).

If you submit a patch to the Lighthouse for your other feature
requests, I can add them in:

http://err.lighthouseapp.com/projects/466-plugins/tickets/new

Unfortunately I don't have much time to work on poor Mofo these days,
but I'll try to apply patches if they're tested.

Cheers,
Chris
