Hi Massimo, thanks for your reply. It must be the session. Accessing the same app through a different subdomian (apache alias) does not block.
The controller uses urllib.urlretrieve to download a remote resource. It also uses the reporthook parameter of urlretrieve to update a session variable with the progress of the download. At the same time the frontend repeatedly issues (or should) ajax calls to fetch and display the progress. The ajax calls as well as other calls to samedomain/.../default/index block until the controller that uses urlretrieve returns. The progress indicator does not need to be synchronized perfectly. Is there a way to unlock the session? What else might I be able to try? Sth like memcache perhaps?
