Sorry that Frank was down for a while this evening…

I’ve been having a lot of issues lately where my http requests to tumblr will just hang indefinitely, without the python requests/httplib libraries raising any kind of timeout-related exception.

When I ctrl-C the script and restart it, it works again, but I don’t know how to simulate this manual step automatically, since I’m not given an exception to handle. Haven’t seen this before like, this week? Or not often anyway. I don’t know enough about web programming to know what the cause is likely to be, either.
