I'm currently working on a small python script that uses the Requests module to post a login, sleep for a short duration, and then submit a post again. However, even if I only have the script sleep for a tenth of a second with time.sleep(0.1), I encounter the "Resetting dropped connection" message from the request library when the second request runs. I have already confirmed that the site supports keep-alive and everything works perfectly fine if there is no sleep between the first and second request. Is there any way to make the first request, wait, and then make a second with the same connection? Thanks!
Update: So far, the only other clue I've encountered is that the older Mechanize module doesn't seem to encounter this problem when sleeping between request. However, I would still prefer to use Requests for this project if possible.
Update 2: Looks like Mechanize actually has a similar re-connection delay but just doesn't note it in its log.
