HTTP Error 408 - Request timeout

Hi bruce,

Thanks for the reply! As it stands I'm just using the page to download a *.jad and a *.jar file containing a java game for the mobile phone, with the prospect of serving xhtml once I get it up and running.
Will it be possible to write an asp/asp.net page which serves the *.jad and *.jar files with an increased timeout?

Thanks again.

 

Thanks Bruce. Will do.

I'll put up a post to let you know how I get on.

 

Hi everyone,

I've had my discounasp.net account for sometime and am v. pleased with it.

I've just started using my account for serving web pages to mobile phones and I'm intimitantly getting a 'HTTP Error 408 - Request timeout' error. The cause of the error seems to be:

"Your Web server thinks that there has been too long an interval of time between 1) the establishment of an IP connection (socket) between the client (e.g. your Web browser or our CheckUpDown robot) and the server and 2) the receipt of any data on that socket, so the server has dropped the connection. The socket connection has actually been lost - your Web server has 'timed out' on that particular socket connection. The request from the client must be repeated - in a timely manner."

So itseems is a symptom of access over a mobile phone where network connections and responses may be a little less rapid than over the wire.

My question is therefore is it possible to increase the timeout on the web server so it is a little more lenient on mobile phone connections?

Please please help as obviously your average user just thinks the site is broken and never goes there again!!!
