[Zope] problem: zope freezes with httplib

hi! we have a problem with a project where zope retrieves web pages from another http server using httplib. the problem is, that at least in some cases Zope freezes until a request is completed (the whole process, all threads). we believe it could be a problem with the threads, however we have no approach to solve this problem. here are the infos: Zope Version (Zope 2.4.1 (source release, python 2.1, linux2), python 2.1.1, linux2) Python Version 2.1.1 (#3, Jan 24 2002, 17:10:04) [GCC 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-98)] System Platform linux2 running with ZServer ciao, basti -- Sebastian Lühnsdorf beehive KG sfl@beehive-eu.com
