How to gracefully handle timeouts?

[Bijou Trouvaille]

Hi,

The subject speaks most of it, but to break it down completely, I'm not seeing how to handle module timeouts using the moduleErrback callback, which returns only an error object. It would be nice to redirect a user to some custom error page, rather than having to take down the whole server to respawn.

Reading the source, which is no less than a fantastic read, I have so far located one possible solution, at least a workaround until the express style error routing, mentioned in another conversation, is implemented. In step.js ret.errback method could bind the error's callback' context to an object containing the http request and response, which seem to reside in the seq.values object at timeouts. Or perhaps I'm missing something obvious, and it can be done much easier than that...

Any thoughts on this are appreciated.
