Unfortunately it's a socket call that is hanging and never coming back. Since the call goes out into space and never completes there's no way for us to implement a progress bar. The whole thing has to do with socket connections to an authentication server. pass/fail works ok but users' accounts can get into states the code doesn't handle. The users do get impatient, as you say, and hit reload over and over and hit the max number of http connections periodically. The developers say they can't fix the code and are taking the "apache is broken or it would solve this for us" tack. That's why I'm trying to find out more how the apache timeouts work.
