[users@httpd] Override timeout for one script?

[Bob <sp...@gmail.com>]

I have a slow CGI script that processes data for 10 minutes before producing
output. This is greater than the Timeout amount in the httpd.conf. Is there a
way I can override the timeout on a per-script or per-directory basis? since I
cannot change the value globally for everyone on the server. I looked at the
documentation and it says that Timeout is not in .htaccess context. Is there
anything else I can do?

You'll run into browser timeouts there too.  Better to terminate the HTTP
transaction with a "processing, please wait" page and a clientpull (refresh)
to a results URL, which your script will generate in background.
