title: How to measure server response time for Python requests POST-request
body: <p>I create <code>requests</code> POST-requests like this, where I specify timeout threshold:</p>
  
  <p><code>response = requests.post(url, data=post_fields, timeout=timeout)</code></p>
  
  <p>However, to determine a "good" threshold value, I would like to benchmark the server response time in advance.</p>
  
  <p>How do I compute the minimum and maximum response times for the server?</p>
