[MacPerl-WebCGI] how to prevent time-out with slow output stream

[Christoph Grunau <Christoph.Grunau@igh.cnrs.fr>]

Dear all,

I have  a MacPerl CGI (running under MacOS 9, QPQ2.1) that sanns a 
number of files for patterns and generates a dynamic web-page with 
the result. As long as the number of files to scan is relatively 
small everything works fine.  However, when I screen about 2500 files 
the CGI takes about 1 min to generate the output. I set the server 
time-out to 300 sec which should be enough but usually the clients 
time-out much earlier. Is there a way to prevent this? Another thing: 
when I try to manually quit the poor CGI that has no more client to 
deliver the page to does not quit. Alt-Apple-Esc helps to kill it. 
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Christoph
