Feature #5100: allow configurable timeouts in resolv.rb

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: akr (Akira Tanaka)
• Target version: 2.0.0

Currently the resolv.rb timeouts are hard-coded and too high for some
users. It would be nice to have an easy way of timing out DNS requests without
resorting to the innefficient and potentially dangerous "timeout" library.

• File 0001-lib-resolv.rb-Resolv-DNS-implement-configurable-time.patch 0001-lib-resolv.rb-Resolv-DNS-implement-configurable-time.patch added

I've added a timeouts= instance method to Resolv::DNS. I'm unsure about
the API, but it should be usable (test case included).

Also pullable via git:
git pull git://bogomips.org/ruby resolv-timeout
