Is this the limitation? If > so, are the threads there to handle client connections? I am using (thread-safe) queue.Queue and have one for incoming-requests and another one for pending-responses. I have one thread which read on request at a time and handle it. once done, puts a response in the response-queue. Bare in mind that the response might be forwarded to another client or to the original sender depend on the case. If I won't find a decent way to hack this I might going to rewrite the more code than I can allow myself at this point of time. > -- > George Pauly > Ring Development > www.ringdevelopment.com > > > _______________________________________________ > Twisted-web mailing list > [email protected] > http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-web > -- Tzury Bar Yochay _______________________________________________ Twisted-web mailing list [email protected] http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-web
