我正在尝试实现对不可靠服务器的请求。这个请求很好,但不是 100% 需要我的 perl 脚本成功完成。问题是服务器偶尔会死锁(我们正试图找出原因)并且请求永远不会成功。由于服务器认为它是活动的,它保持套接字连接打开,因此 LWP::UserAgent 的超时值对我们没有任何好处。对请求强制执行绝对超时的最佳方法是什么?

仅供参考,这不是 DNS 问题。死锁与同时访问我们的 Postgres 数据库的大量更新有关。出于测试目的,我们基本上在服务器响应处理程序中放置了一个 while(1) {} 行。

目前,代码如下所示:

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
ua->timeout(5); $ua->cookie_jar({});

my $req = HTTP::Request->new(POST => "http://$host:$port/auth/login");
$req->content_type('application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
$req->content("login[user]=$username&login[password]=$password");

# This line never returns 
$res = $ua->request($req);

我试过使用信号来触发超时,但这似乎不起作用。

eval {
    local $SIG{ALRM} = sub { die "alarm\n" };
    alarm(1);
    $res = $ua->request($req);
    alarm(0);
};
# This never runs
print "here\n";

我要使用的最终答案是离线某人提出的,但我会在这里提及。出于某种原因,SigAction 有效,而 $SIG(ALRM) 无效。仍然不确定为什么,但这已经过测试。这是两个工作版本:

# Takes a LWP::UserAgent, and a HTTP::Request, returns a HTTP::Request
sub ua_request_with_timeout {
    my $ua = $_[0];
    my $req = $_[1];
    # Get whatever timeout is set for LWP and use that to 
    #  enforce a maximum timeout per request in case of server
    #  deadlock. (This has happened.)
    use Sys::SigAction qw( timeout_call );
    our $res = undef;
    if( timeout_call( 5, sub {$res = $ua->request($req);}) ) {
        return HTTP::Response->new( 408 ); #408 is the HTTP timeout
    } else {
        return $res;
    }
}
sub ua_request_with_timeout2 {
    print "ua_request_with_timeout\n";
    my $ua = $_[0];
    my $req = $_[1];
    # Get whatever timeout is set for LWP and use that to 
    #  enforce a maximum timeout per request in case of server
    #  deadlock. (This has happened.)
    my $timeout_for_client = $ua->timeout() - 2;
    our $socket_has_timedout = 0;

    use POSIX;
    sigaction SIGALRM, new POSIX::SigAction(
                                            sub {
                                                $socket_has_timedout = 1;
                                                die "alarm timeout";
                                            }
                                            ) or die "Error setting SIGALRM handler: $!\n";
    my $res = undef;
    eval {
        alarm ($timeout_for_client);
        $res = $ua->request($req);
        alarm(0);
    };
    if ( $socket_has_timedout ) {
        return HTTP::Response->new( 408 ); #408 is the HTTP timeout
    } else {
        return $res;
    }
}

您可以尝试LWPx::ParanoidAgent,它是 LWP::UserAgent 的子类,它对如何与远程 Web 服务器交互更加谨慎。

除其他外,它还允许您指定全局超时。它是由 Brad Fitzpatrick 作为 LiveJournal 项目的一部分开发的。

您可以像这样设置自己的超时时间:

use LWP::UserAgent;
use IO::Pipe;

my $agent = new LWP::UserAgent;

my $finished = 0;
my $timeout = 5;

$SIG{CHLD} = sub { wait, $finished = 1 };

my $pipe = new IO::Pipe;
my $pid = fork;

if($pid == 0) {
    $pipe->writer;
    my $response = $agent->get("http://stackoverflow.com/");
    $pipe->print($response->content);
    exit;
}

$pipe->reader;

sleep($timeout);

if($finished) {
    print "Finished!\n";
    my $content = join('', $pipe->getlines);
}   
else {
    kill(9, $pid);
    print "Timed out.\n";
}

据我了解, timeout 属性没有考虑 DNS 超时。您可以单独进行 DNS 查找,然后在可行的情况下向服务器发出请求,并为用户代理设置正确的超时值。

这是服务器的DNS问题还是其他问题?

编辑:这也可能是 IO::Socket 的问题。尝试更新您的 IO::Socket 模块,看看是否有帮助。我很确定那里有一个错误阻止 LWP::UserAgent 超时工作。

以下对原始答案之一的概括还将警报信号处理程序恢复为前一个处理程序,并添加第二次调用 alarm(0) 以防评估时钟中的调用引发非警报异常并且我们想要取消警报。可以添加进一步的 $@ 检查和处理:

sub ua_request_with_timeout {
    my $ua = $_[0];
    my $request = $_[1];

    # Get whatever timeout is set for LWP and use that to 
    #  enforce a maximum timeout per request in case of server
    #  deadlock. (This has happened.)`enter code here`
    my $timeout_for_client_sec = $ua->timeout();
    our $res_has_timedout = 0; 

    use POSIX ':signal_h';

    my $newaction = POSIX::SigAction->new(
        sub { $res_has_timedout = 1; die "web request timeout"; },# the handler code ref
        POSIX::SigSet->new(SIGALRM),
        # not using (perl 5.8.2 and later) 'safe' switch or sa_flags
    );  

    my $oldaction = POSIX::SigAction->new();
    if(!sigaction(SIGALRM, $newaction, $oldaction)) {
        log('warn',"Error setting SIGALRM handler: $!");
        return $ua->request($request);
    }   

    my $response = undef;
    eval {
        alarm ($timeout_for_client_sec);
        $response = $ua->request($request);
        alarm(0);
    }; 

    alarm(0);# cancel alarm (if eval failed because of non alarm cause)
    if(!sigaction(SIGALRM, $oldaction )) {
        log('warn', "Error resetting SIGALRM handler: $!");
    }; 

    if ( $res_has_timedout ) {
        log('warn', "Timeout($timeout_for_client_sec sec) while waiting for a response from cred central");
        return HTTP::Response->new(408); #408 is the HTTP timeout
    } else {
        return $response;
     }
}
