I'm validating the resolution of url's supplied by customers through the following... (testing w/ 7000 records right now) my DTML method calls a python script that calls a zsql method. It then passes the result (row by row) to a hacked version of webclient.py, and my result gets passed back (1 or 0). I list the results (failures) in a resulting method. If I cancel the request (via the stop button on the browser) my logging shows the external method contining to run. Realizing that it's server side, it's not necessarily wrong, but if anyone can give me an explaination on why (or more like how to stop it), that'd be great. You may search "comp.lang.python" or the mailing list archive.
You are interested in why threads cannot be aborted/stopped/canceled in Python.
