Method: Gem::Net::HTTP::Persistent.detect_idle_timeout

Defined in:

lib/bundler/vendor/net-http-persistent/lib/net/http/persistent.rb

.detect_idle_timeout(uri, max = 10) ⇒ Object

Use this method to detect the idle timeout of the host at uri. The value returned can be used to configure #idle_timeout. max controls the maximum idle timeout to detect.

After

Idle timeout detection is performed by creating a connection then performing a HEAD request in a loop until the connection terminates waiting one additional second per loop.

NOTE: This may not work on ruby > 1.9.
