I would think there are. Perhaps they are not available to Python. Perhaps this explains my experience with Python TCP/IP in Windows. I tried Python for TCP/IP development in Windows one time and experienced hugely obscure bugs in an application which transferred around 50 thousand data files daily. The errors *were* rare and messages hilariously useless. After 4 fulls days of trying to find the problem, I ported my code to Delphi rather easily and the errors were gone completely. I never got to use Python at that employer again and haven't trusted it completely for TCP/IP since. > In this case Apache is probably timing out. >> Then again, I was once flamed by Webware advocates for explaining PHP's >> helpful handling of form variables, such as naming them with [] postfixed >> to put multiple into an array.

Yes I know actions must be defined in the servlet quite obviously for security measures. Postfixing with [] in PHP doesn't come close to that type of security vulnerability. I was flamed because the convention existed, not because of any possible security vulnerability, then come to find similar conventions in Webware (even less elegant imho). That's all I was saying. -Kai ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Webware-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss
