posted March 13, 2005 11:35 AM I've been successfully using the Web Tool with my commercial app for almost three years now. There is one thing that's bothersome that I'd like to get a handle on. Using the blocking method during GET and POST (https), the web tool response during file transfers drops dramatically if anything is actively running in the background. In fact, the file transfers almost hang completely. Using other forms file transfer, say, doing a file download using a web browser, are unaffected. For example, on my development machine, I'm running a data analysis program (BOINC for Einstein@Home) in the background with a priority level of low. You can run flight sim games with this program in the background with no problem (it's running on five of my systems.) However, when I start my Web Tool app, the Web Tool slows to a crawl or hangs until I suspend BOINC. This appears to be the case for any other program that might be running. Web Tool almost stops until they complete. Note that this only happens when my app is actively transfering files, i.e., during the blocked GET and POST methods. Right now I have about 300 users and it now appears that this might be the cause of a lot of the timeouts they've been complaining about off and on. I've gone so far as to run my file transfer app in the VB6 IDE and bump its priority up to high in an attempt to get it to execute or respond faster, but no-go. Everything must complete or suspend before Web Tool can run. Obviously I've missed something along the way here. What can I do to get the Web Tool to execute with backgound tasks running? Thanks, John |
