If using Tramline, just take note of: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-76 The author of Tramline recommends a patch be made to mod_python but in the bigger scheme of things haven't been able to work out definitively why it should be necessary and whether it is just a workaround for problems in certain versions of underlying Apache code. We have identified another issue in mod_python filter code which was fixed, but author seemed to fix this itself didn't resolve problem. Anyway, this is not to deter you from trying Tramline as I think the concept is quite interesting and could help to improve performance. Personally I would have written a dedicated C based Apache module to do it, but then things like this are much easier to do in mod_python that using Apache C module API. :-) Graham > On Jun 7, 12:38 pm, "Nimrod A.
