[users@httpd] Intentional time out?

For testing purposes I need to access a page that will cause the browser
to time out.  I'm dreaming up ways to do it, but thought there may be a
simple answer out here.

Thanks,

--charlie

With php (or other similar languages), you could do something like:

<?php
set_time_limit(0);

while(1);
?>

That might cause the server to hang, I dunno.  You could also just make it
sit idle for 2 min and then return.

Hard to say -- you never tell us what platform you are on.

Did you try

ln -s /dev/null null.html

Or some such???  Never tried that myself -- it would be prove humorous 
to attempt such things...
