That's how I read it as well, but it does raise an interesting question.
What happens if the first request is long running, such as uploading or
downloading a large file? It seems like the user will not be able to
access any other pages until that up/download completes. This is a
pattern I personally use all the time in my browsing habits, and it also
impacts the project I am currently working on.
Any thoughts? (Sorry if this is sliding away from [python-dev] into
[mod_python] territory.)
