I'm trying to have Django (on top of GAE) fetch data from another web service. I'm often hit with error like this:
ApplicationError: 2 timed out Request
Method: GET
Request URL:http://localhost:8080/
Exception Type: DownloadError
Exception Value: ApplicationError: 2 timed out
Exception Location: /google_appengine/google/appengine/api/urlfetch.py in _get_fetch_result, line 325
It feels as if it will time out only after 12 seconds (I'm not sure, but it's really short).
Question: how can I set a longer timeout?
