I need a HTTP server handling long lasting requests e.g. 10-30 seconds.
Below is a pice of the code. In order to make the server reponsive while
handling othere requests I use SocketServer.ThreadingMixIn.
However the problem is the it does not work out. I checked thet a new
thread is created for each new connection new, but the main loop seems
to be frozen until the prevoius handling ends.
What could go wrong?
Thanks, Andy
