commit c04baba6de5ca0301ef3f3d9ddb868ad878cbb97 Author: David Fifield <david@bamsoftware.com> Date: Sun Oct 30 18:26:47 2011 -0700 Reduce the crossdomain timeout from 2.0 s to 0.5 s. The public connector has logged 160 crossdomain connections since 2011-09-05. The log entries only have a resolution of a second. That said, in only nine of those entries did the time advance by a second before the crossdomain request was received. This gives an estimate of the mean time before receiving a crossdomain request of 0.05625 s. --- connector.py | 7 +++++-- 1 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/connector.py b/connector.py index 624b776..3b08272 100755 --- a/connector.py +++ b/connector.py @@ -181,8 +181,11 @@ def format_peername(s): return "<unconnected>" # How long to wait for a crossdomain policy request before deciding that this is -# a normal socket. -CROSSDOMAIN_TIMEOUT = 2.0 +# a normal socket.
