Hi, I'm using Zope
2.6.1b1 (but the same behavior is exhibited by 2.6.0) and IE6 on XP.
Before I spend a long time debugging this I thought I'd ask the
list:
Either IE's cookie
handling (doubt it, since I tried this with highly permissive privacy settinngs)
or Zope's browser id manager, or Zope's session manager or Zope's transient
objects folder is misbehaving.
Symptom:
Session data is periodically and intermittently lost within a period of time
much much shorter than the transient object timeout.
To test this I use a
single IE window reloading the very same "test.html" ZPT that simply checks for
the existance of the key 'foo' in REQUEST.SESSION and reports the result (and
sets it to 1 always).
Preliminary evidence
is that the problem is exacerbated by concurrent request handling. I test
this using a windows client that utilizes the WinHTTP COM+ object to generate
requests running on a separate machine (no chance of IE stepping on
itself).
Of possible
relevance is that external python methods are invoked to fulfill the WinHTTP
generated requests.
Any initial hints on
where to look?
Thanks,
Andrew
