[Zope] Long delay when error occurs in External Method

[nwingfield at che-llp.com]

Jens,

There is no cache between me and the server.  Normal modifications to pages
and scripts are not cached, and changes display immediately.  Only errors
are cached.  Bug-free changes are immediately visible.

In response to your question:  I am new to mailing lists.  Mailing lists,
like any community, have their own culture.  Generally one learns how to
behave within an unfamiliar culture by observing the other members of that
culture.  It has generally been the case that people continue a discussion
by replying to me directly, as well as to the mailing list.  Your e-mail is
a good example: you replied to me directly, and copied the mailing list.
It is for that reason, and for that reason only, that I replied directly to
Dieter.  Granted, my reply was somewhat off the original topic.  Though not
entirely unrelated, perhaps it was better suited to a new thread.

Nathaniel

Is there a cache between you and the server? Caches can cache error
pages, too.

P.S.: Did you pay Dieter support money or why did you send this mail
directly to him?
