Re: Time limit for CGIs

[Peter Connell <Peter.Connell@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry, I misread the issue.
I think there may have been such a directive under the old IBM HTTP Server which ended the CGI thread but on Apache I think you only get to control the timeout on the client side.
But if you were to log the input and output events then that opens the possibility of having an independent process that monitors that log for requests that have not completed within a prescribed time

That logs the time it takes, but how does it limit the time it takes?
