A large query is causing the client (browser) to become unresponsive, because web2py doesn't return anything to the client until the controller function has completed.
It needs, instead, to return a chunked response header immediately, with the data to follow. From the controller I can return an iterator, which will send a chunked response, but doesn't help because the query still runs in the context of the controller function, before web2py can return anything. If I defer the query (return an iterator that lazily runs the query), the query fails because the database connection is closed after the controller returns. Is there any way to get web2py to return a header to the client before the db query is run? -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
