Webrepl constructs a websocket with BLOCKING_WRITE set. There's no timeout, so prints can hang.

The websocket and websocket_helper included with the ESP8266 is a bit weird to use and doesn't work as a client with most servers it seems. Would it be useful to include a more versatile implementation of websockets? I have a pure-python implementation of the client that looks like the websockets module that could (a) expand to include the server handshake, (b) support the webrepl, and (c) be ported to C if needed (not sure it is, it should express quite well in Python).

Assessment

Q Qwen · high

Issue #10508 specifically requests timeout support for webrepl's websocket connections to prevent indefinite hangs during print operations. Issue #2410 is a broader feature request for a more versatile websocket implementation that could potentially support webrepl. While both issues relate to websockets and webrepl, they address different problems: #10508 is about adding timeout functionality to prevent blocking, while #2410 is about improving the overall websocket implementation quality and compatibility. The candidate issue doesn't directly resolve the timeout problem described in the query.

Suggested action

Keep both issues open as they address different aspects of websocket/webrepl functionality. The timeout feature request (#10508) should be addressed separately from the broader websocket implementation improvements (#2410).
