Timeout for IE 6.0 ?

I got a form that I submit to the backend to do some tasks before it
responds and display another html page.
If the task take to long, how many seconds between the submit/request and
the respond/display the html can it take
before IE 6.0 timesout?
Is there a default timeout in IE 6 or is this handled elsewhere, or will the
browser wait forever?
Any knowledge on this?

thanx in advance

AFAIK the timeout is set by your scripting server and/or database connection

Er, database connection? Scripting server?

I would have thought the timeout would be a function of the TCP/IP stack.

may be so - I bow to your greater knowledge.

however, I know that some script engines attempt to protect the server from
runaway scripts with a (settable) timeout value and also some DB libraries
have similar in-built functionality.

I think both of you are right.

You really don't want to complicate issues

Fast respons
That the timeout is not managed på the browser, but can be somehow be set
by the owner of the server or database running that the html page is
what i was hoping for.
So if i can find out how to adjust that timeout value on my server, I can
prevent the html page to timeout. If the timeout is longer than max
3minutes i can display another "this-take-to-long-
so-i-have-cancelled-the-request" page

Out of interest, what language is the form processor written in? I know
for sure that you can change the timeout in the actual script if it is
written in PHP and Perl (I assume the same exists for ASP et al.), so
maybe that is the best thing to do?

The view is written in jsp(JavaServerPages) files instead of html, with
Struts 1.1 as the controller framework for submiting the form from jsp file
to the servlet on the server.

ASP (vbScript): Server.ScriptTimeout
