OK. I'm just trying to understand why/where mongrel is blocking when more than 1 request comes in for a particular uri. I'm thinking there may be something different with this particular httphandler. Or maybe not... maybe mongrel can't service more than 1 request for a particular uri at a time.
It's interesting that more than 1 can run at a time, you just need to associate them with different uri's. I'd like to find out why that is, and if that's changeable. -joe On 12/5/06, Vishnu Gopal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > If you read that wikipedia article, you'll note that Comet actually does > want this to happen: one connection to be kept alive.
