Question

[ivoszz]

Hi list,

I have a simple question. Is it possible to set timeout on the
request? I looked into available documentation and did not find clear
answer. There is written that you can setup callback function with
middleware, so I can "sleep" and check for data after the timeout has
expired but having example will be very helpful. I use Lua as a main
language.

I want also thank you all for great library.

As far I understand, it is a LuaSocket question.
The function request() in Spore/Protocols.lua calls
http://w3.impa.br/~diego/software/luasocket/http.html#request (generic
form).
And LuaSocket supplies too
