Hi,
Several people reported that Gnus hangs if they subscribe to
nnrss groups. nnrss is a back end which uses the url ELisp
package by default and enables to read rss feeds as if they were
newsgroups.
When starting Gnus or typing `g' (gnus-group-get-new-news), it
gets into the infinite loop. The reason the problem arises is
stated in the `url-retrieve-synchronously' section of the url.el
file as follows:
;; Quoth Stef:
;; It turns out that the problem seems to be that the (sit-for
;; 0.1) below doesn't actually process the data: instead it
;; returns immediately because there is keyboard input
;; waiting, so we end up spinning endlessly waiting for the
;; process to finish while not letting it finish.
;; However, raman claims that it blocks Emacs with Emacspeak
;; for unexplained reasons. Put back for his benefit until

;; (sleep-for 0.1)
(sit-for 0.1))
I don't know why it sticks to `sleep-for' or `sit-for'.
Although both process data, there are adverse effects as the
comment mentioned. Isn't the function which should process data
from the network `accept-process-output'? I tried it there and
confirmed it solves the problem. Since I don't have Emacspeak,
I'm not sure whether it doesn't trouble Emacspeak users, though.
The patch is here:

I've myself been using the patch below for a while now (it basically does
the same as yours, except it hoists the get-buffer-process outside the loop
and it removes the timeout since it shouldn't be needed now that Emacs knows
what we're waiting for).
I've just installed it.

For me the patch provided a big improvement, but I still observed hangs -
as far as I could determine, always in connections without specified
Content-Length. I think the reason for this is that in these cases
url-http-simple-after-change-function is used which does not call the
callback function at the end, as opposed to
url-http-content-length-after-change-function. This leads to a hang in
accept-process-output when the connection already has been closed.
The following patch did help me, although I am not sure if it is the
right way to tackle the problem:

OT1H, looking at the docstring of url-retrieve, I'd think that it's a bug in
url-http.el that it sometimes fails to activate the callback.
But, OTHO, looking at the url-http.el code it seems that it purposefully
only activates the callback when the retrieval was successful.
If someone could explain to me which it is, that would help.
I guess what should really happen is that the callback is always activated
but is given an extra argument (explicit or implicit) so it can tell whether
the retrieval was successful.
In any case, it might very well be that your problem is no related to all
this but is a much more down to earth bug.
To debug it, could you try to replace the (setq retrieval-done t) in your
patch with (debug).
Also do (setq url-debug '(http)).
When the debugger gets called, take a look at the *URL-DEBUG* buffer (and
send it here).

not and null are synonyms. When to use which is a question of taste, but
I tend to use `not' when applied to something that I consider as a boolean
value, whereas I tend to use `null' when applied to something that can be
nil or anything else (a list, for example).
So in the above case, I think `not' is preferable.

I can't explain it.
Unfortunately, there is no good method to always react in the right
way, especially for these connections without specified Content-Length
where the only indicator is that the connection has been closed
already. As far as I know, there is no mechanism in Emacs that triggers
a function at connection-state changes. And how would you then classify
whether the retrieval has been successful?
I think most of the complexity of the URL package comes from the fact
that it implements asynchronous fetching of data. This feature is not
necessary for my usage pattern, but obviously the author thought the
complexity worthwile.

OK, I have done that.

Actually, Emacs does not provide any direct support for synchronous
"open-connection/send-data/read-data", the way it does for processes with
`call-process'. So the author (William Perry) had no choice, really.
Furthermore, given the complexity of HTTP (with authentication and stuff),
it's basically impossible for Emacs to provide a synchronous API that would
be usable for HTTP.

So the sentinel is properly called when the connection is closed and it does
activate "the" callback. Now why didn't the callback set `retrieval-done'?

Could you in the *Backtrace* buffer check the value of the following
expressions (and post them here), using `e':
proc
(process-buffer proc)
(with-current-buffer (process-buffer proc) url-callback-function)
--retrieval-done--30970
(symbol-value --retrieval-done--30970)
The "30970" might change from one run to the other, so check the backtrace
to see which number was used that time.

Could you show a patch of the actual change you tried?
Do you men just before `url-retrieve' in url-http-parse-headers
in the lines:
(let ((url-request-method url-http-method)
(url-request-data url-http-data)
(url-request-extra-headers url-http-extra-headers))
(url-retrieve redirect-uri url-callback-function
url-callback-arguments)
(url-mark-buffer-as-dead (current-buffer))))))

I'm not sure I understand what this is about, and it's a long time
since dealt with that code, but I'll try to take a look at it sometime
if no-one else can.

After replacing the nil value of (process-buffer proc) with " *http proxy:8080*":
(lambda (&rest --cl-rest--) (apply (quote (lambda (G96930 G96931 &rest ignored) (url-debug (quote retrieval) "Synchronous fetching done (%S)" (current-buffer)) (progn (set G96931 t) (set G96930 (current-buffer))))) (quote --asynch-buffer--) (quote --retrieval-done--) --cl-rest--))

Symbol's value as variable is void: --retrieval-done--96924

Yes, exactly. There I threw in a (accept-process-output url-http-process)
just because it seemed to help. Unfortunately, I don't see why.
