Howdy Zopistas!
I'd like to implement a chat function using the multipart content type and I wonder if that is possible with Zope. My idea is to write a python script that pushes the content of a database until e.g. the stop button is pressed in the Browser. But how would the script know that it's supposed to stop? And would such a longtime connection completely occupy one Zope thread so that I'd have to increase the number of threads?

First of all it would not occupy a zope thread but merely an asynchore-channel. You would have to go deep into the architecture of zope/zserver to archieve such a solution. May be the better way is a irc-server (ircu) anyway. There are numerous irc-clients on java basis. HTH Tino Wildenhain
