urllib3.exceptions.NewConnectionError: <urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x7f5abcb3c5d0>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 110] Connection timed out

I am trying to connect into owncloud using following script, where I am storing oc object into a file ; and re-use the same one.

oc = owncloud.Client("https://b2drop.eudat.eu/")
with open(password_path, "r") as content_file:
    password = content_file.read().strip()

oc.login(user, password)  # May take long time to connect
password = ""
f = open(foc_object_path, "wb")
pickle.dump(oc, f)
f.close()

---

During my tests this works but when I run the same script over and over again I may get following error:

  File "/home/alper/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/urllib3/connection.py", line 160, in _new_conn

    sock.connect(sa)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

=> Is there any way to prevent this error to happening ?

IMHO the reject is done by the server, therefore it doesn't really have its place in bugs.

Best way would be to proxy the connection, to limit logins... or maybe there is another way .. like making a share link and downloading with <share url>/download.
