Yes, it sends a "RST" packet. It ends the tcp-connection. That's why I think throwing an exception when something tries to output data to be served to such a connection is the right thing to do (while it may be not so easy to implement with zope, I don't know). Since the connection is gone, there's no point in accumulating data to be sent back.

I don't know why these examples should be an argument against implementing a saner (just IMO!) policy into zope regarding connection resets. If something like I described would be implemented into zope, it surely should be possible to start an extra thread for doing the stuff you give as an example, or - less desireable IMO - to ignore the connection reset. If this were implemented with an exeption, you just had to catch it and you're done. cheers, oliver _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
