I'm trying to support a web-application and unfortunatley I don't have access to the code, so I have to come up with a workaround. The problem is that there is a client piece used to run queries, some of which take hours, and the end-users' firewalls are closing the connections because they sit idle while the query is running. The ideal solution is for the web-app to send periodic keep-alives while the query is being processed, but again I don't have accessed to the code. So I thought I might be able to place a proxy server (e.g. apache with mod_proxy) and set it up to send keep alives.
Client <==a==> Proxy <==b==> web-app Connection 'a' would go through a firewall but the proxy server would send keep-alives to maintain it, while connection 'b' would not be monitored. I have apache/mod_proxy set up and I'm using ProxyPass in httpd.conf. However 'connection a' is still getting timed out. Any suggestions are welcome.
