I am not sure where you are coming from here and, it sounds like you yourself have no idea either! I'll be polite and just say.... I actuaully think Michael Hoffman's patch suggestion was an excellent one for LWP in my case. I been using LWP to prcess 1,000's of urls and the timeout issue made it too painful to use. I commented out the Timeout and haven't yet experienced any prolonged snags which means what generally takes hours for LWP to handle now only takes 10 mins :-)Thread Previous
