Script timed out Message added to Binary File End

Hi Friends,

I have code that will "BinaryWrite" a EXE file of 20mb to client using the
ADO Stream. After the download the EXE file works fine without any problem.

When I verified the EXE that gets downloaded to client machine that EXE has
the below text added to the bottom:
---------------------------------------------
.Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0113'..Script timed
out../Roctek/ProcessDownload.asp..The
maximum amount of time for a script to execute was exceeded. You can change
this limit by specifying a new value for the property Server.ScriptTimeout
or by changing the value in the IIS administration tools..
----------------------------------------------

So I can see that it is a Script TimeOut Error. So can you please guide me
where the problem is comming and how can I rectify this. (Including the ASP
code that BinaryWrite the file)
---------------------------------------------
Function DownloadFile(strFilename)
dim stFile
Response.Buffer = True
Response.Clear

Set stFile = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
stFile.Open
stFile.Type = 1 'Set as BINARY

On Error Resume Next

Set fso = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
if not fso.FileExists(strFilename) then
Response.Write("<h1>Requested file does not exists! Please contact Roctek
Support.</h1>")
Response.End
end if
Set fFile = fso.GetFile(strFilename)
iFileLength = fFile.Size

stFile.LoadFromFile(strFilename)

Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" &
fFile.Name
Response.AddHeader "Content-Length", iFileLength
Response.Charset = "UTF-8"
Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream"

Response.BinaryWrite stFile.Read
Response.Flush
Response.Buffer = False
Response.Clear

Set fso = Nothing
Set fFile = Nothing
stFile.Close
Set stFile = Nothing
End Function
-----------------------------------------------------------

I am using IIS 5 on Windows 2000 Server. Please guide me to solve the
problem

Thanks

Is something wrong with your google skills? Or your ability to search
www.aspfaq.com?

Add this to your page:
Server.ScriptTimeout =<whatever value it takes to eliminate the error>

Hi Bob,

I am aware that we can use <% Server.ScriptTimeout = n %> but I wanted to
know is this the correct aproach to Solve???

But I am wondering that if there is some other way that I can do in my asp
code that stream the file. Also If I set the timeout in any procedure will
that timeout be local to procedure or global to application?

Thanks
Prabhat

Well, that article's pretty clear about the scope of this property isn't it?

OK, so my lack of mind-reading/clairvoyancy skills have been exposed ...

Only if whatever you did had the result of reducing the time taken to
process the file. If that's what you're asking then there probably is not
anything you can do to affect this without a third-party component.

As the article you cited states: the setting only has effect for the page in
which it is set.

Hi Bob,

thanks for those info. I have to use the Server.ScriptTimeout for this to
around 1800 sec as the file size is 20 mb.

Thanks

You should also consider this article.

The second approach that chunks the file down out the response would be
better for
a 20MB file especially on if deployed on IIS6.0.

Hi Anthony,

Thanks for the link. it is having good info. Also I liked the way it stream
the binary write in chunks using ther buffer = False.

Can I set the Buffer = False and send data without Chunks?

Thanks

You can but it doesn't make any difference from having Buffer = True and
doing a single large binarywrite.

Rather than thinking of Buffer = false meaning 'don't buffer' think of it
more as 'flush buffer after each write or binarywrite'.

On IIS6 the default buffer limit is 4MB. Even with Buffer = False if you
attempt to write your 20MB file in single call to binarywrite you will
exceed the buffer limit and get an error.

Hi Anthony,

you are correct in concept. So now I think :
Buffer = False and BinaryWrite with Chunks is better approach.

Thanks

Or just leave the buffer alone and Response.Flush() periodically:
