Non-Compliant Code Examples

from requests import get, put
r = get(w, verify=False) # missing a timeout
r = get(w, verify=False, timeout=10)

def bla():
    r = get(w, verify=False)

import requests
r = requests.put(w, verify=False) # missing a timeout

import requests
r = requests.get(w, verify=False) # missing a timeout
r = requests.get(w, verify=False, timeout=10)



def foo():
    r = requests.get(w, verify=False) # missing a timeout

    if bar:
        r = requests.get(w, verify=False)

Compliant Code Examples

r = requests.put(w, verify=False)

import requests
r = requests.get(w, verify=False, timeout=5)
r = requests.get(w, verify=False, timeout=10)
