Hi, in one of my Odoo15 installation I need to setup the socket_timeout variable of WorkerHTTP class directly from Python code, bypassing the usage of environment variable ODOO_HTTP_SOCKET_TIMEOUT.

EDIT: a guy on stackoverflow introduced me on monkey patching oop tecnique, which i didn't know before. As I thaught it's actually pretty easy, but you must know how it works. For now it's far from being perfect, but it works, I will update post if I will improve it (it's just a temporary workaround for one of my installations).

import errno
import fcntl
import socket
import odoo
import odoo.service.server as srv

class WorkerHttpProcessRequestPatch(srv.WorkerHTTP):

    def process_request(self, client, addr):
        client.setblocking(1)
        client.settimeout(100)  # v0.1, i will make it much better but i want a backup
        client.setsockopt(socket.IPPROTO_TCP, socket.TCP_NODELAY, 1)

        flags = fcntl.fcntl(client, fcntl.F_GETFD) | fcntl.FD_CLOEXEC
        fcntl.fcntl(client, fcntl.F_SETFD, flags)
        self.server.socket = client
        try:
            self.server.process_request(client, addr)
        except IOError as e:
            if e.errno != errno.EPIPE:
                raise
        self.request_count += 1

odoo.service.server.WorkerHTTP.process_request = WorkerHttpProcessRequestPatch.process_request

The last line is just magic, if I understand well it switch attribute process_request of WorkerHTTP with custom  process_request  attribute at runtime, so the object is initialized with old class name, but process_request is executed with my custom method. 

It must be set statically from code for now, so it's ugly, but at least it does bypass ODOO_HTTP_SOCKET_TIMEOUT environment variable as I needed and at the same time it does not get override from updates. 

I'd like to make a module for that to be able to setup from UI if some one is interested.
