Your description of what happened is accurate and I realize that I was needlessly on the defensive, as if you were telling me that my question was a bad one. There was no intention to be rude. I was just defending my question. I realize that you simply tried to help and feel bad about my reply. As I am new with web2py, your help is very much appreciated. I am still looking at the WSGI middleware option. Thank you for your guidance.
