Maya,
I don't quite know how to get around this issue with the CLI tool for Confluence, but I was able to overcome this issue with a Python script that might be useful:
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys, string, xmlrpclib, re, httplib, time
#http timeout override
class TimeoutHTTPConnection( httplib.HTTPConnection ):
def connect( self ):
httplib.HTTPConnection.connect( self )
self.sock.settimeout( self.timeout )
class TimeoutHTTP( httplib.HTTP ):
_connection_class = TimeoutHTTPConnection
def set_timeout( self, timeout ):
self._conn.timeout = timeout
class TimeoutTransport( xmlrpclib.Transport ):
def __init__( self, timeout = 10, *l, **kw ):
xmlrpclib.Transport.__init__( self, *l, **kw )
self.timeout = timeout
def make_connection( self, host ):
conn = TimeoutHTTP( host )
conn.set_timeout( self.timeout )
return conn
class TimeoutServerProxy( xmlrpclib.ServerProxy ):
def __init__( self, uri, timeout = 10, *l, **kw ):
kw['transport'] = TimeoutTransport( timeout = timeout, use_datetime = kw.get( 'use_datetime', 0 ) )
xmlrpclib.ServerProxy.__init__( self, uri, *l, **kw )
def runExport(newtimeout):
#server = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy('http://localhost:8080/rpc/xmlrpc')
try:
print ("Starting at: "+time.asctime())
server = TimeoutServerProxy( 'http://localhost:8080/rpc/xmlrpc', timeout = newtimeout )
token = server.confluence1.login( 'admin', 'admin' )
key = raw_input( "Enter space key: " )
vartype = raw_input( "Eport type (xml or html): " )
if "xml" in vartype.lower():
type = 'TYPE_XML'
else:
if "html" in vartype.lower():
type = 'TYPE_HTML'
else: print ("Invalid output type.")
string = server.confluence1.exportSpace( token, key, type )
exit( string )
except Exception as e:
print (time.asctime())
print (e)
finally:
print (time.asctime())
toset = int(raw_input( "Set Timeout Value in Minutes: " ))*60
runExport(toset)
You will need to change the details in 'server' and 'token' to match your server URL and login details. When you run the script, set a timeout value in minutes and specify the space key and xml and it should eventually spit out a URL. In local testing, a space with 35000 unique pages, each with one image attached, finished in 16 minutes. Mileage will vary, but you can get a feel for how long you can expect it to take by running a space export in the Confluence UI to establish your baseline.
