Does someone else have a use for a sleep function? Is the design suitable for you?
Hi David, sleep() looks good. I wonder whether t should take milliseconds as other operations do - socket.set_timeout for example. I guess it largely depends on how long scripts generally want to sleep a coroutine for - just a thought. Whilst I was improving whois.nse I badly wanted sleep(), but then mutex came along and this turned out to be a better solution since the aim was to protect a resource from use by more than one coroutine at a time - in this case, a connection to a whois service. On my TODO list is a script for brute forcing VNC auth which will need sleep and also an HTTP/HTML spider in which sleep could be useful in avoiding a ban for aggressive crawling. So yes, a useful addition indeed. jah _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://SecLists.Org
