[issue24486] http/client.py block indefinitely on line 308 in _read_status

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

You did not mention if the HTTP connection has a timeout set. If no timeout is set, it will block until the server sends or closes the connection. The timeout sets how long the socket spends “checking if data is available” before giving up.
