how to push FF not to time out

firefox timing out in executing long processing page

[phparion]

hi

i have a script that inserts above 1000,000 records in the table. it works fine on my online server but when i am executing it on my laptop, which is pretty fast dell xps with 4 gb ram, the firefox is showing time out problems. i even used php set_time_limit(0) to make the script never time out but it is a browser problem. what can i set in firefox menu to make it execute the script without timing out?

thanks

all you need to do is flush something from the server to the browser periodically and the connection will stay open for a really long time, maybe indefinitely.

but that is a work-around not the FF solution. I used about:config and increased the time of request and network timeouts to very big values and then restarted but that does not affect the behavior of browser. i was wondering if there is any FF fix for this since I guided FF not to timeout but still it is timing out.

It's actually not a 'work around' as I write lots of big reports and data exports that work just fine on any browser because I flush the data on a regular basis to keep the connections live and not timing out.

Sorry, don't have a FF specific solution to the problem but my solution is universal for all browsers without requiring any tweaks of the default settings.
