Postbacks blocking code if postback server times out

[zoton2]

If there are any postback URLs set in the settings, and the server they are pointing at doesn't respond in 5 seconds, the server returns a 500(?) error and the rest of the code seems to be ignored.

The code does have that timeout parameter (opener.open(req, timeout=5)), the timeout should just fail gracefully, or we should change to using something that is async so it doesn't actually block the code if it's waiting.

And now I post that, it seems to be a different matter. If the postback server doesn't exist (so I assume a 404) it will be fine, but if the postback server does exist but it doesn't return anything, it will block the code.

No, from some more testing, it seems like it does happen if the server doesn't exist too.

I guess you just have to make sure the server is always there... listening...
