Generally speaking, remote users don't have control over your local processes, and if there is some problem with that local process that causes it to loop indefinitely, the chance that it could react appropriately to the browser is slim anyway. So the answer is to fix the problem with the CGI program. > In addition, how could I configure that if a CGI program do not finish > its task in 20sec or so, it will be automatically terminated? I suppose you could run it in a background thread or process, terminating it after the allotted time has expired, but I suspect you'd be better off addressing whatever is causing the problem in the first place. What sort of CGI program is this? -- Ben Sizer -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
