My thinking is that the server *creates* the environ dictionary, so

middleware allowed to replace environ with another dict instance
before passing it to the application? I wasn't aware that this was
allowed, but if it is, then I see the problem.
The solution would probably be for the application to pass a mutable
object (e.g. an empty list) to readable/writable that the server
could set a timeout flag on.
How about a environ['x-wsgiorg.async'].timeout ? I do something like
that in cogen.
Or environ['x-wsgiorg.async.timeout'] could be an object whose truth
value can be toggled by the server, like an instance of the following:
class MutaBool(object):
def __init__(self):
self.val = False
def __nonzero__(self):
return self.val
Then there's no need for the server to change environ after starting
the app. I think that's probably the way to go.
