Add a helper method for handling random network timeouts

[postmodern]

It appears that Async::HTTP::Internet.instance can raise an Errno::ETIMEDOUT exception when the connection to the HTTP server times out. We should decide whether to ignore timeouts, or add a helper method that can retry the given block possibly with a sleep(1) delay and incremental counter. Such a helper method could be provided by a Ronin::Recon::Mixins::Retry mixin module.

Pseudocode

def retry_on_timeout(limit: 3, &block)
  retries = 0

  begin
    block.call
   rescue Errno::ETIMEDOUT => error
    sleep(1)
    retries += 1
    if retries > limit
      raise(error)
    else
      retry
    end
  end
end

Appears there's similar code in lib/ronin/recon/builtin/web/dir_enum.rb. Could extract that code into a Mixin and helper method.

ronin-recon/lib/ronin/recon/builtin/web/dir_enum.rb

Lines 93 to 110 in 92b2623

	begin
	response = http.head(url)
	if RESOURCE_STATUS_CODES.include?(response.status)
	yield URL.new(url, status: response.status,
	headers: response.to_h)
	end
	rescue Errno::ECONNREFUSED,
	SocketError
	task.stop
	rescue StandardError
	if retries > 3
	next
	else
	retries += 1
	sleep 1
	retry
	end

Should this new Mixin be included in CertSh and DirEnum classes or somewhere higher?
Also should it catch Errno::ETIMEDOUT or just StandardError?

[moozzi]

Or should we include it just in CertSh?

@AI-Mozi that is a good question. I would say only include it where we are currently needing to handle network timeouts and retries.
