[Tclhttpd-users] cgi problems - once more - possible solution.

[petrus v. <pet...@si...>]

Hi Brent,

I found some suspicious code part in cgi.tcl appr. line 240.

There you overwrite  Httpd$sock(cancel) without cancelling a former
timer.

 # Set up a timer in case it hangs

    set data(cancel) [after $Cgi(timeout) CgiCancel $fd $sock]


As workaround I just wrote

catch { after cancel $data(cancel)  }

before this statement.

From now on I have no entries in the listing produced by debug/after.

TclPro helped me to find this suspicious code part and a grep on
data(cancel) showed that
cgi.tcl#241 might be the only code part where the timer is not
cancelled.

I do not know if my workaround is just fine or a new component in the
data array will have to be defined.
