sure! you just have to do a few requests and while the page loads stop the
request (the stop button in the
browser). the trick is that you normally can't do that fast enough but you
can manage to get the error when
using frames! they load slow enough and do enough requests to stop while
data would still be sent to the
browser (client).
or you can use the (php) function sleep which is less tricky.
anyway i'll put the source of the modified version of phpstub onto the
secured area mentioned below!
get it from http://www.t-horner.com/secure/phpstub-0.5.2.tar.gz
