Is there a way to set a timeout limit for feed aquisition on portal block ?

The feed I was trying to aquire was not available and the portal block freezed my geeklog site.

I looked at the code and it doesn't look like we allow a way to set a timeout. This should be done and we should probably update the code to use HTTP_Request2.

Look in the paserfactory.class.php file at the _getFeed function (line 180). Change the line 182 to



This should set it to timeout at 2 seconds. I haven't tested this but let me know if it works.

For more information on this pear library you can also look at:

Tom,

Thanks for the tip.: I don't know if it works because the feed I needed is now fully available, but yes it can be a nice feature to avoid complete site freeze.
