80717 - Webserver timeout length is not being honored

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 80716

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect)

Description

[Anthony Stevens]

We have several CGI scripts which can take over 30 minutes to complete. Usually,
the scripts are dumping data to the browser, however there are times where we
see a 5 - 10 minute "dead time" where no data is being sent. This is normal. The
problem is that Mozilla is giving a timeout after about 2 minutes of idle time. 

a simple test case would be:
----
#!/usr/bin/perl
$|=1; #autoflush the data sent to the browser
print "content-type: text/plain\n\n";
print "sleeping for 600 seconds (10 minutes)\n";
sleep 600;
print "Done\n";

sounds like what i see in bug 35844. The sockets time out long before content is
served.
