[Bug]: raise socket.error("Socket is closed") OSError: Socket is closed

[vt-idiot]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [X] I have searched the existing issues and checked the recent builds/commits

What happened?

Many image previews in Google Colab cause a socket is closed error, and the image times out while loading.

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. Run WebUI on Colab
2. Generate a larger image, certain grids of 4x4 512x768 are usually enough to trigger it if detailed enough
3. Image begins to load, and then times out

What should have happened?

Seems like the time out duration is way too short. I am not sure if this is a Google Colab limitation, or some kind of issue with Gradio. I do know that switching to e.g. interlaced (progressive) PNGs is not the solution, as those files are even larger, so the timeout will happen sooner/more frequently.

I tried to look in Gradio's code to see if there was anything that could be modified to potentially adjust timeout with a launch flag, but I'm not sure which time-out is correct.

If I were a betting man, I'd bet it was this one? https://github.com/gradio-app/gradio/blob/main/gradio/networking.py

                r = requests.head(url, timeout=3, verify=False)

https://github.com/gradio-app/gradio/blob/main/gradio/external_utils.py https://github.com/gradio-app/gradio/blob/main/ui/packages/app/src/main.ts

it sounds like #5422 was meant to address this same issue?

Nothing in particular that would affect it.

Additional information, context and logs

I know disabling image previews wholesale will prevent it from happening, and I think it might be some kind of Gradio issue, but I'm not sure how to better help troubleshoot it.
