Timeout Issue with get_indicator_details_full #49

Open baalgar opened 4 years ago

baalgar commented 4 years ago

When passing in anything other than URLs like hashes into otx.get_indicator_details_full for type IndicatorTypes.URL it hangs and there's no way to control timeout

Yeah so what's actually happening here is that it's retrying over and over with increasing timeouts, because it's getting a 500 from the server. Probably: a) we shouldn't retry on 500 errors b) we should fix the 500 error - it should probably give a 400 instead I will fix b) right away, a) will go out in the next release.

Thanks, I'll try that out. I temporarily bypassed that issue by actively parsing indicator types as they come in and then doing something like eval(IndicatorTypes.type)
