soledad.git/client/changes/bug_reuse-http-connection, branch feature/enc-sync-transitional-db [soledad] Do not instantiate the synchronizer each time. 2013-12-20T02:08:26+00:00 Kali Kaneko kali@leap.se 2013-12-20T01:52:12+00:00 7a6d913fed8fc8332174c7ac5c8a4a5472a478c3 This has the nice effect of letting the persistent-connection reuse the existing connection, avoiding the ssl handshake overhead each time we try to synchronize. This can be traced by logging the instantiation of HttpClientBase in u1db.remote I *think* we should be fine with the timeouts as long as we keep the sync period along the 1 min we are doing now. For other cases, we should look into how to override the default timeout in httplib (used by u1db http_client).
