Hello,
async_sleep() has some limitations listed in the readme, specifically, the state of config execution is lost since the resume happens in different application process. You better use the async_route() function if you are not that familiar with the internal cfg file interpreter. As a matter of fact, async_sleep() was added more for sampling reasons, to help other developers discover internal async API.
Cheers, Daniel

xlog("L_INFO", "*** out of the while\n");
produces:
INFO:<script>: ------------- attemp 1 INFO:<script>: something INFO:<script>: *** out of the while
So, can async_sleep() be called within a while() block? IMHO it seems that the internal while counter lives in the initial process handling the request so when the processing is taken by other process (after async_sleep) it knows nothing about the while.
Thanks.
