[plt-scheme] PLT 360 Web-Server Hangs on Multiple Requests
Gang,
I have used PLT 360 to build an elaborate web application. I have
noticed that if, from a particular page, I click a link that invokes an
extended computation/display, and before the new page comes up, I click
another link on the original page, then the server seems to hang and
never respond to either click. All these links are generated using
embed/url inside a send/suspend/dispatch. I've been using Firefox 2 as
my browser.
Before I get all hung about about possible threading issues and the
possibility of unsafe data modifications, I thought I'd ask if there is
a simpler explanation (and fix) or if anyone else has seen and can
account for this behavior.
Also, as an aside, I've downloaded PLT 371 and considered upgrading, but
it doesn't appear to be a smooth path, since many things have changed
(but I'm not sure the docs have kept up). The way I set my
configuration no longer works (I think the 'load-configuration' function
is gone and I can't figure out what has replaced it). I also think I
read in a post to this list that unit-based servlets are no longer
supported (which is how I've built my two major servlets).
Anyway, thanks for any help or pointers you folks can offer...
