Re: PHP Apache Functions

MattLavinder@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx skrev:
works great except for the timeout issue. If the file is over 1GB, it can
take a while for the download to complete. I am trying to avoid
configuring PHP and Apache to allow scripts to run for hours before a
timeout occurs, but I would like to allow this one script to (basically)
run indefinitely. While not ideal, it is certainly better than making it
possible for any PHP script on the server to run indefinitely.
A frequent approach to this problem is to have a proxy instance in front of the server running the scripts. The proxy server is contacted with the request, the proxy server requests the file from the script, the whole file is transferred fast to the proxyserver and the script finishes, and the proxy server slowly serves out the result to the requester.

You just need enough disk to hold the temporary results on the proxy server.
