I notices that wwwoffle doesn't send any response to browser until completely fetched the page.
That has some udesirable cosequences:
For example I have set in my bowser a receive timeout of 120 s.
I send a Pragma: no-cache request for a very large page to refetch a
new version from source. WWWOFFLE starts fetching this page, and does so
for 120 seconds, but is not yet finished then. But the browser doesn't
know anything about that - it thinks that something went wrong and our
requset got lost. So after 120 seconds it issues another Pragma:
no-cache request, than WWWOFFLE rejects the half-way fetched page and
starts over from the beginning. And so on...
This way it will never fetch this page.
Solution to set a larger timeour in browser is some sort of solution, eg
I have set 600 s now, but then if the request realy got lost, it would
not do anything about it for 10 minutes.
I know that is because I have
enable-modify-online = yes
but maybe we could make WWWOFFLE send something to the browser even then,
because this way it is sometimes unusble.
