Last week I run some tests. I can confirm I have NO dropped requests on web2py.com running with the recommended configuration (apache +mod_wsgi 3.1).
Here is the httpserver.log for 3 days of running (I removed the IPs from the logs and requests for static files served directly by apache). http://www.web2py.com/examples/static/logs.txt You can see that most pages are served in about 50 millisecond and all of them return a 200 OK. At 2010-07-08 16:58:22 I also run a test and you can see the logs for that. No propped request from ab. Clearly something is wrong with Thadues setup. I cannot help debug this if I cannot reproduce the problem. As soon as I have some time I will install uwsgi and try it. @Thadeus. Can you post the application you used for testing? Massimo
