I can answer my own #2 now.
It is because I was trying to start_session() from the same
machine/browser and it must require that only one user use a session at
a time (duh).
Works fine if I use two browsers that are logged in with different
account names/sessions.
Still working on #1, I am definately sending data all the time during my
2 minute script, so it "should" be able to detect the connection has
closed. But, maybe apache is not configured right....
Cheers,
Mike
