I appreciate your help. To replicate the persistent connection issue, either telnet or the short python script below should work. ```python import requests import logging logging.basicConfig() logging.getLogger().setLevel(logging.DEBUG) s = requests.Session() url = 'http://hcc-stash.unl.edu:8000/user/bbockelm/public/testfile' for i in range(0, 3): print "Request #%d" % i r = s.get(url) print "Status = %d\n" % r.status_code ``` In the sample output below, we see "Resetting dropped connection", showing where the server disconnected. The requests are still successful due to error handling in the HTTP client. ``` Request #0 INFO:requests.packages.urllib3.connectionpool:Starting new HTTP connection (1): hcc-stash.unl.edu DEBUG:requests.packages.urllib3.connectionpool:"GET /user/bbockelm/public/testfile HTTP/1.1" 200 1048576 Status = 200 Request #1 INFO:requests.packages.urllib3.connectionpool:Resetting dropped connection: hcc-stash.unl.edu DEBUG:requests.packages.urllib3.connectionpool:"GET /user/bbockelm/public/testfile HTTP/1.1" 200 1048576 Status = 200 Request #2 INFO:requests.packages.urllib3.connectionpool:Resetting dropped connection: hcc-stash.unl.edu DEBUG:requests.packages.urllib3.connectionpool:"GET /user/bbockelm/public/testfile HTTP/1.1" 200 1048576 Status = 200 ``` -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
