Subject: [Wikitech-l] sessions in parallel
Hi -
I'm debugging my extension code against potential deadlock
conditions, and am having a problem: when I request 2 pages
simultaneously in different firefox tabs, judging by the
wfDebug output it seems like the second page request blocks
at session_start() and waits until the first page is done.
Is it supposed to do this? Does it depend on my configuration?
Thanks -

If I remember correctly, the PHP files session handler has to acquire
an exclusive lock on the session file in session_start(). Thus
preventing your second request until the first is complete.
