Re: How do clients(web browser) close a python CGI program that is not responding?
Actually my project is converting certain specially costomized XML file to HTML to display and edit. Sometimes the XML file is too big, or the client upload a very huge file for the server to process, which exceeds the processing ability of my server.(after all, it is a small server on my poor laptopwhich use winXP and IIS..not professional, huh?) I configures IIS to terminate CGI program if it do not complete in 20 sec. But it does not workPerhaps I should go to a IIS or apache forum for answer. Thank you. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

If the user hits 'stop', the client browser should close its connection and your web server should close the pipe to your CGI process. I'd expect you to get a SIGPIPE when next trying to output data. > 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? Do you mean a specific CGI, or all CGIs in general? If it's in general then you need to see if your web server can be configured to do that. If it's a specific CGI, check out signal.alarm() or resource.setrlimit(resource.RLIMIT_CPU, ...). Apache has a RLimitCPU directive, but be careful with it since it may well not do what you expect. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

How could my client close that CGI script running on the > server? 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

Hi,there. Sometimes a python CGI script tries to output great quantities of HTML responce or in other cases, it just falls into a dead loop. How could my client close that CGI script running on the server? I tried to use the STOP button in the web browser button, but it does not work. 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? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
