Exercise 1.11

Try fetchall with longer argument lists, such as samples from the top million web sites available at alexa.com. How does the program behave if a web site just doesn't respond? (Section 8.9 describes mechanisms for coping in such cases.)

Notes

http.Get times out after 30 seconds, if any of the following (HTTPS issues) don't derail things first:

• x509: certificate is valid for X, not Y
• x509: certificate has expired or is not yet valid
• x509: certificate signed by unknown authority
• TLS handshake timeout
