Sorry, this may have been covered recently but I have not kept up with
the list.
My program creates large tar files (e.g. > 15G). I need the output
stream to be a direct feed to the user while the tar is being created.
Currently I create a tar file and then return the file. The problem is
that the delay on the tar creation can be over 1 hour (especially using
gz) and often times out - no activity on the connection while the file
is being created.
Is there a best practice for doing this?
How is the mime set?
Can a dropped connection be detected?
Any help with this would be terrific.
Thanks
David
