AspQueueConnectionTestTime Metabase Property

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 with SP1

IIS places all ASP requests into a queue. If the request is queued longer than the number of seconds specified by the AspQueueConnectionTestTime property, ASP checks to determine whether the client is still connected before executing the request. If the client is no longer connected, the request is not processed and is deleted from the queue.

Note

Most often, users do not wait more than a few seconds for ASP pages to process. Although the maximum waiting time varies from user to user, the generally accepted maximum is approximately 10 seconds. You can use the AspQueueConnectionTestTime property to ensure that IIS does not waste time processing a request that has been abandoned by the user. This property is useful for making ASP processing efficient only up to the point at which ASP begins to process the script. Once the script is running, however, your application should continue to check for client connection at appropriate times, by using the IsClientConnected method of the ASP built-in Response object.
