SimpleHTTPRequestHandler handling long lasting requests problem

[Andy Leszczynski]

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

    server_address = ('',80)
    httpd=myWebServer(server_address,SimpleHTTPRequestHandler)
    sa=httpd.socket.getsockname()
    print "Serving HTTP on", sa[0], "port", sa[1],"..."
    httpd.serve_forever()
