Hello,

We found a problem while using M2crypto 0.06 work with Zope-2.4.2.

We're calling a Zope extrenal method on another matchine (same configuration)

through XML-RPC and we noticed that once the content-lenght of the HTTP

request gets larger than 4096 bytes the calling function hangs (Zope hangs; the

server Zope still works fine).

Below is the printout generated by the client Zope:

reply: 'HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\n'
header: Server: Zope/(Zope 2.4.2 (binary release,
2.1.0, win32) ZServerSSL/0.06
header: Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2001 13:16:22 GMT
header: Connection: close
header: Content-Type: text/xml
header: Content-Length: 127
3932
send: 'POST /RPC2 HTTP/1.0\r\n'
send: 'Host: 192.168.1.4\r\n'
send: 'User-Agent: xmlrpc_ssl.py/0.06 - xmlrpclib.
m)\r\n'
send: 'Content-Type: text/xml\r\n'
send: 'Content-Length: 4097\r\n'
send: 'Authorization: Basic c29uaWE6c29uaWE=\r\n'

The function's only argument is a string and we tested it bye

calling the method in a for loop until it hung:

for i in range(3910,4000,1):
  stringXml = "X"*i
  print i
  rs = x.recepcaoActualizacao(stringXml)

Everything works fine by HTTP (not secure) even for 200Kb strings.

Can you help?

Thanks in advance,

Sónia
