Socket errors with --connect option

[PatrikFehrenbach]

Hey guys!

There are several errors when using the --connect page due to the non existence of error handling in the head_request class.

To avoid connection timeouts i have added a two seconds timeout for each domain, and i have additionally passed every exception occuring (there will be at leas two errors at the current script:

1. ConnectionRefusedError
2. ConnectionTimedoutError

I have changed the code a bit as a suggestion, for the usability i'd handle the exceptions accordingly and maybe set the timeout as an argument for the user :-)

def head_request(url):
try:
conn = http.client.HTTPConnection(url,timeout=2)
conn.request("HEAD", "/")
except:
return []
resp = conn.getresponse()
conn.close()

best

Patrik
