Yes, timeout is configurable, but that was the only lie there:) > While talking about killed server and knowing that the file was > transferred - It's often impossible to know. The chunked encoding or the > Content-Length header are needed to know if the whole file was transfered. Chunked content encoding does not help here. Also, my experiments with few popular browsers has shown that they don't even try to support Content-Length correctly. I've been watching HTTP headers and correct Content-Length was specified, then I started a download and then killed the HTTPD child that served the download request before the download was completed. AND browsers did not even complain about failed download, they just stopped downloading with message "Download complete" or (if I selected to run the executable) complained about downloaded file being corrupt, but not incomplete. It does not work with gzip and Firefox too, just tried it. "Download complete." So here is the question again - is there something one can do with Apache (or Linux/other OS) that will change browser's behaviour in a way that it will report incomplete download to the user?
