derived from CGIHTTPServer.py

[Michael Ströder]

HI!

I have sub-classed my own CGI-handler from
CGIHTTPServer.CGIHTTPRequestHandler and have overriden the method
run_cgi to write a persistent stand-alone web gateway. I copied some
code from CGIHTTPServer.py and modified it for my needs for method
run_cgi. The script (the function HandleHTTPRequest()) runs just
fine and outputs everything to the browser without error. But the
browser does not stop loading, the connection is not closed.

Can somebody figure out what I have to do? Code of sub-class below.

Thanks a lot.

Ciao, Michael.
