Hi

Have a Rails 1.0 based Web Service. This service exports many method.  
All run fine except for a methos that takes 60-300 secs to complete.  
This long running method errs when invoked from client, but it passes  
functional tests.  
As attached server log shows, service invocation runs to completion, its  
when delivering response that the error arises. Client receives an error  
html page instead of soap response.  
Did set connection, send and receive timeout options in service client  
driver to 10 minutes.

Server platform: Windows Server 2003,ruby 1.8.2,latest rails running on  
Apache  
Client platform: Centos 4.2, ruby 1.8.4

Please help me this is driving me nuts.

Werner Bohl

Hmm. I’m afraid there is almost nothing I can say about RoR side (RoR +  
fcgi?) Does a client dump something while waiting a server processing?  
How about when the server complains?
