I tried that, but it didn't matter much. What happens is I have a link. When I click on it, the browser hangs. If I switch to another application on my desktop whose window covers the browser, and then I switch back to the browser, the graphics of the browser is not redrawn. I use IE, and the windows logo isn't spinning and and green progress bar is going nowhere. Then, after about 30 seconds, the browser recieves some partial html code and stops. The html is cut off, and doesn't correspond to the point in the code where the time consuming loop is. I see the process still going on the server, and know it completes everything it is supposed to. I checked the apache conf file, and Timeout is set to 300. I don't know if that's the right variable for this. Why would it cut out after only 30 seconds?
