[web2py] Rocket with urllib2 behavior [BUG?]

[vihang]

Hi,

Code:

import urllib2
    url = 'http://127.0.0.1/server/default/index'
    response = urllib2.urlopen(url)


Here 127.0.0.1 is the same web2py from which this code is being
called. On doing so, the web2py hangs. I debugged the issue to Rocket,
where it does not allocate a new thread to request (active_queue.get()
does not return a new thread required to complete the response), as
the current session is already using one. This is not a problem with
other web servers.

Is this a bug or just the way Rocket server was made to behave?
