Script Timeout and Dialup connection

SPD
I've been researching this issue with little luck. Here's the situation:

We have a few users on slow dialup connections who are posting data from
forms. Frequently, they get script timeout errors. We've gotten timeouts
from users with faster connections as well, so I suspected that the overall
load is overtaxing the server. But it does seem to be more frequent with
dialup users posting relatively large (>10K) worth of data from forms. The
Script Timeout value for the site is 20 seconds. IMO, it's seems quite odd
that connection speed could influence a server-side script timeout, but...

Question: When form data is posted, does the server begin processing upon
receipt of the first packet with the post request, or does it wait until all
packets have arrived?

Question 2: Is 20 seconds too short, or are there potential problems with
increasing it to, say, 30, 45, or even 60 seconds?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Scott

I use a WinForm app for users to upload a file to my server. Basically one line of code; Response = WC.UploadData(MyUrl, "PUT", MyByteArray) Works fine except for larger files. After about 104 seconds I get a System.Net.WebException in System.dll. The message is "The operation has timed out". On my server, I have modified the machine.config file for the httpRuntime

Hi everybody, How do you monitor the connection if it is still open or close for a dial up and internet RAS connection? I used both dialup and vpn RAS. The dialup is for modem connection and vpn ras is for remote internet connection. What methods to use and how to use them? I used RASDial and RasHangUp functions to connect and disconnect. Can anyone exactly show me codes? I am using C#. Thanks. dennis --

I do not know PHP, consider to write a CGI with this technology and have the following question. Is it possible to invoke a PHP script and let it endlessly wait for requests from a website (a Java applet in my case) and serve the requests when they arrive? I want to avoid loading the script for each request. In other words, can it function, in this sense, like a Java servlet?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
