It seems that if I've started the zope server from the command line, and then telnet to the port it's running on (8080) and issue a malformed HTTP request, I can kill the server. Does anyone else experience this? [...] The server goes down for the count after this.
Let me add a few notes here so I don't cause a panic. I'm on Zope 2.5.0 with python 2.1.1 (SunOS 5.8 Generic_108528-01 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-250.) Non-CVS checkout -- this is a release I downloaded from zope.com. This problem doesn't happen on an immediate restart of zope, so it's certainly not an Easy DoS as I may have indicated. It happens once the server's been up for awhile (but time to failure is unknown.) I just restarted my server and now I can't reproduce the issue. I see quite a few people on higher versions of Zope, and I should probably upgrade, but I'd like to know if anyone sees random Zope daemon failure that is similar to what I'm experiencing. -john
