The purpose of this email is not to argue that there is a need to have the option of killing a single response if it takes longer than say 30 seconds. This is a worthwhile feature, years of work in php has shown me that it is.

Thanks to a bit of help from various source in the community, I've been able to find something that works with fastcgi
and surely should work with webbrick.

I tried -idle-timeout with the FastCgiConfig/FastCgiServer directives and they failed, eg
FastCgiServer /www/vhosts/whatever/public/dispatch.fcgi -idle-timeout 30
left me with dispatch.fcgi still using up 98% of the cpu on my intentional infinite loop test.

I tried require "timeout" and Timeout::timeout(2){ logger.info('im here') } in dispatch.fcgi and that failed (pretty sure).


What did work came by suggestion.

In an ApplicationController do:
    def process(*args)
        timeout(30) { logger.info('killed by me'); super }
    end

and it seems that it only takes care of one response (did some testing).


But, I would like if someone could point out the error in my FastCgiServer attempt.

Thanks.
