Keep-alive

[Nick]

How does the keep-alive work?
If I uncheck the setting for it I still see "keep alive" in the headings...
In the past I had to use:

p_web._OkSent = 1
p_web.noopchar = ' '
p_web.NoOp()

to prevent a browse from timing out if searching took too long.

Is that still necessary or does the keep alive the same?

TIA,
Nick

Keep-alive has nothing to do with that.

So this is still valid?
p_web._OkSent = 1
p_web.noopchar = ' '
p_web.NoOp()

well, I guess if your browse search takes more than 30 seconds then I'd be looking to add keys, or whatever to make the search a lot faster. I'm not sure folks will happily wait > 30 seconds for a set of search results these days.

But I guess if that code worked before it might work now. I'm not sure your NoOpChar should be empty - I think maybe it should be a '.', but this part of things has not changed... (Although sending noOps in a browse context could probably break the xml I guess. It was only designed for reports, not browses.

You're right. I put that in about 5-6 years ago.
I better can skip it I guess. See if someone complains...

Cheers,
