2016-07-31 Code that avoids Timeout::timeout()

fixed_code.rb

require 'net/http'
#require 'timeout'
require 'mysql2' # https://github.com/brianmario/mysql2

def download_to_database(url, sql_statement)
  res = Net::HTTP.start(
    url.host,
    url.port,
    use_ssl: url.scheme == 'https',
    open_timeout: 5,
    read_timeout: 5,
    ssl_timeout: 5
  ) { |http| http.request(Net::HTTP::Get.new(url)) }
  sql_statement.execute(url.to_s, res.code, res.body)
end

client = Mysql2::Client.new(read_timeout: 3, write_timeout: 3, ...)
statement = client.prepare(
  "INSERT INTO http_responses (url, status_code, body) VALUES (?, ?, ?)"
)

download_to_database(URI('http://example.com'), statement)
download_to_database(URI('http://example.org'), statement)
# ... et cetera

Thanks! Fixed
