Hello,
 
Does anyone know how to prevent an external method from blocking?
 
What I need is an external method that contacts an external server and returns the result to be displayed in my dtml page.  It's quite alright for the person requesting the page to wait for the response. What I don't want is for other users to be blocked while the external server formulates it's response to that user.
 
From the archives it seems I need to piggyback onto Zopes asyncore / asynchat to achieve this, but I'm not sure how.
 
Thanks.
