[Zope] AttributeError: RESPONSE ?!

10 Feb 2005

      hi list,

this one has got me stumped; from the traceback:

"""
Module ZPublisher.HTTPRequest, line 1220, in __getattr__

AttributeError: RESPONSE
"""

AFAIK the REQUEST object should *always* have a RESPONSE attribute, right?

background:

* this happens under moderate load in our somewhat involved data entry 
application

* load generated by apache benchmark at a concurrency level of 1-2 plus manual 
browsing

* occurs at random, one out of 5 clicks maybe

* ZEO setup, zope 2.7.4, Python 2.3.5 (#2, Feb  9 2005, 00:38:15) [GCC 3.3.5 
(Debian 1:3.3.5-8)] on linux2

under similar conditions i sometimes also get an "AttributeError: SESSION" 
which looks like somehow REQUEST is loosing its attributes? can that happen? 

*any* thoughts greatly appreciated before i have to break out gdb and immerse 
myself for days in it :-/

 - peter.

ps.: somewhat abbreviated traceback below
