Folks
I am trying to configure Apache to provide a delayed response to a http(s) request. Essentially once the webserver gets a http request, it should keep the connection open for as long as 10 minutes before sending the http response. I did not find any obvious way in the manual to do this.
Does anybody have any experience implementing this in Apache 2.0?

thanks

I suspect the reason you're not finding a standard way of doing this is that it's a bad idea.

Do this client-side using JavaScript or a meta-refresh and a cookie or something, so that the connection does not need to stay "KeepAlived". Otherwise, you're going to need one heck of a server, because you'll have a lot of server threads tied up waiting...
