Are you able to give a more detailed description of what happens, exactly? e.g. does the failure happen straight away or does it take a while, indicating a time-out?

As you might be able to guess there is not much to go on from the exception itself but you add -d to the options then it will output a bit more on what is going on.

adding -d

Error comes up after approx 2 minutes

[rr8779]

Hi, 2 minutes is the default http.socket.timeout.

if you take a look at your catalina.out, you should find a similar error :
webscripts.connector.RemoteClient
Error status 408 Read timed out
java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out

You will find this parameter if you look into the jar :
tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/lib/spring-webscripts-1.2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
into :
org/springframework/extensions/webscripts/spring-webscripts-application-context.xml

• bean id="connector.remoteclient.abstract"
• property name="readTimeout"
• value = 120000 milliseconds = 2 minutes

You can simply modify the value into the jar file but a better approach is to override the bean setting by creating a file called :
tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension/custom-slingshot-application-context.xml

Simply copy the content of spring-webscripts-application-context.xml and change the readTimeout value.

Don't forget to restart tomcat.

Regards,
Renaud

I had the same error, but after changing timeout value for alfresco webscripts, another timeout exception, now from alfresco.py script line 262 in share-import-export:

return self.opener.open(req, timeout=self.timeout)

I´ve changed default timeout in ShareClient.init to something higher, and it worked.
