Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2012-8205

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : python-tornado
Product : Fedora 15
Version : 2.2.1
Release : 1.fc15
URL : http://www.tornadoweb.org
Summary : Scalable, non-blocking web server and tools
Description :
Tornado is an open source version of the scalable, non-blocking web
server and tools.
The framework is distinct from most mainstream web server frameworks
(and certainly most Python frameworks) because it is non-blocking and
reasonably fast. Because it is non-blocking and uses epoll, it can
handle thousands of simultaneous standing connections, which means it is
ideal for real-time web services.

Update to 2.2.1 which fixes an HTTP header injection vulnerability.
