Net::ReadTimeout weirdness

README.txt

Some weird stuff about NetHTTP, the timeout is twice what it should be.

To test things out:

$> gem install sinatra
$> ruby server.rb
$> ruby client.rb

client.rb

require 'net/http'

begin
  start = Time.now
  uri = URI 'http://localhost:4567'
  req = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
  req.read_timeout = 5
  req.get(uri)
rescue Net::ReadTimeout
  puts "Timed out after #{Time.now - start} seconds"
end

server.rb

require 'sinatra'

get '/' do
  puts 'Starting request'
  sleep(25)
  [200, 'slept 25s']
end
