[Koha-devel] Long-running inventory.pl causing timeout? There's a solution...

[David Cook]

Hi all,

 

I imagine everyone has encountered situations where a long-running
inventory.pl has caused a timeout?

 

Well, at https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=31744 I
have a solution (ie workaround).

 

It requires running inventory.pl in CGI mode and without compression, so
that it can stream null data out until the actual inventory output is ready.


 

This prevents proxies from timing out while waiting for the inventory to
process and print out its output. It works for both HTML and CSV output too.

 

Ideally, it would be nice to have inventory.pl process in the background,
but I think this is a very practical workaround that keep inventory.pl
working until we can implement that more ideal solution.

 

I'm going to have some libraries test the solution behind their corporate
HTTP forward proxies and I'll let folks know on Bugzilla how that goes. I'm
optimistic since all my testing has gone well so far.
