PHP Fatal error in Requests library

[AllegroBarry]

Hi, Sorry to bug you with this... I should probably be able to dig into it and eventually figure it out. But I figured, since you know the code better than I do, maybe you'd have a quick answer?:

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught exception 'Requests_Exception' with message 'cURL error 28: Operation timed out after 10001 milliseconds with 0 bytes received' in /var/www/sites/frantz/photos/requests_lib/library/Requests/Transport/cURL.php:421
Stack trace:
#0 /var/www/sites/frantz/photos/requests_lib/library/Requests/Transport/cURL.php(177): Requests_Transport_cURL->process_response('', Array)
#1 /var/www/sites/frantz/photos/requests_lib/library/Requests.php(379): Requests_Transport_cURL->request(Object(Requests_IRI), Array, '{"path":"id:cm8...', Array)
#2 /var/www/sites/frantz/photos/requests_lib/library/Requests.php(268): Requests::request('https://api.dro...', Array, '{"path":"id:cm8...', 'POST', Array)
#3 /var/www/sites/frantz/photos/dbxapi.php(97): Requests::post('https://api.dro...', Array, '{"path":"id:cm8...')
#4 /var/www/sites/frantz/photos/dbxapi.php(133): dbx_get_metadata('ptFv6sHgGyAAAAA...', 'id:cm8IQIpr6GAA...')
#5 /var/www/sites/frantz/photos/PhotoLinx2.php(542): dbx_list_folder('ptFv6sHgGyAAAAA...', '/Camera Upload in /var/www/sites/frantz/photos/requests_lib/library/Requests/Transport/cURL.php on line 421

Is it just as simple as, "The remote resource didn't respond, so Requests timed-out..."?

If so, is there something I should have done within my code to catch this, rather than end up with a Fatal error and my program halting?

Thanks,
Barry Lake

Requests "just" performs HTTP requests, like curl or sockets would do. It's up to you, library user, to deal with various scenarios, just like you would do using plain curl functions for instance.

Requests returns results when there is results to return (which may or may not be a "successful" request, for instance a 404 page) and returns an exception when it could not perform the request.

The typical use would be :

try {
	$result = Requests::request($url, $headers, $data, $type, $options);
	// now do something with $result, like checking if it's a "200 OK" request or something else
} catch( Requests_Exception $e ) {
	// there was an error, do something with $e, for instance
	my_debug_func( $e->getMessage(), $url );
};

But if the request need more execution_time, how to increase it?

@arturcesarmelo http://requests.ryanmccue.info/api/source-class-Requests.html#306 you're looking for timeout.
