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! -- Andrew Piskorski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.piskorski.com
