Re: Set the time out limited

[vanderWalt.Devlyn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

   Hi Scott
   We using our web services server a little differently.  We have
   functions that get executed, and now some of our functions are taking
   longer than a minute to complete.  Only once the functions are
   complete, then the response XML is returned.
   Scott you gave me the idea in the first email to return a byte every 30
   seconds.  If I understand you correctly, this means our functions can
   run as long as they like, just as long as the web services server
   return a byte every 30 seconds.
   If this is true, to get this working will be first prize for us.  I
   don't really want to increase the time limit, as we estimate in some
   cases that some of our functions take up to 20  minutes to complete.

   Hi Devlyn,
   There shouldn't be any idle time during an HTTP session.  (This does
   NOT
   work like a Client Access session where it sits and waits for a user.)

   It should be constantly either sending or receiving data. The only time
   it should be waiting is:
   1) While waiting for the web service to process your request.
   2) Waiting for data to traverse the network (which normally would never
   be as high as 30 seconds)
   I'm wondering if there is something wrong here, like the web service
   might be crashing, or something like that.  If you increase the
   timeout,
   does it solve any problems?  I'm thinking it won't.
