In AOLserver 3.x (and 3.3+ad13 in particular), I believe that a
connection thread continues to execute until it eiter finishes all the
code it's running or errors out.  The thread never "knows" that the
client is no longer waiting for a request, and so can never try to
stop running because of that.  And, nothing else ever prevents a
thread from running to completion.

Is that true?  Is it going to remain true for AOLserver 4.x?

And if you do want to detect whether the client is still waiting (aka,
the client tcp/ip connection is still live?), is there any way to do
that?  (I think this was discussed here before, but I couldn't seem to
find it in the archives.)

Thanks!
