Also, anywhere in your code (e.g., in a model file), you can test to see if
the app should stop responding, and if so, raise the web2py HTTP error with
a 4xx or 5xx status code. For example:
if delay_time_for_responding=='infinite':
raise HTTP(403)
See http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/04#HTTP-and-redirect.
