Hello,
I'm using MOD_APACHE 3.2.8 (from binary dist). with Apache 2.0.55
under Windows XP Pro.
I encounter memory leaks (~ 16 Ko per request) with a very basic
handler like :
import mod_python
from mod_python import util
def handler(req):
F=util.FieldStorage( req ) return mod_python.apache.OK
Has somebody encountered the same problem ?
Is there a turn-around or a fix that can be forecasted ?
This is the first that this has been reported, so forecasting a fix is
difficult. It would be helpful if you created a JIRA issue at
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON
util.FieldStorage is straight python code, so I'm surprised that it
would be leaking, particularly 16K per request.
That was a stupid statement on my part since FieldStorage does call some
mod_python code that *is* written in C, and could very well leak. It is
however correct to say that we have not had a leak reported against
FieldStorage in particular. There were some leaks in 3.1.4, but I
thought we caught them for the 3.2.7 release.
Back to the code.
Jim
