Hi,

I wrote a perl script to create a captcha.

Its called from a HTML img tag: <img src="/cgi-bin/createcaptcha.cgi" width="70" height="30" border="1">

Its use GD and MySQL.

It works but repeated use for some of the calls times out.

In the error log I get this:

Fri Aug 01 11:48:52 2008 warn Timeout waiting for output from CGI script
/var/www/website/cgi-bin/createcaptcha.cgi
Fri Aug 01 11:48:52 2008 error (70007)The timeout specified has expired: ap_content_length_filter: apr_bucket_read() failed

I googled and I couldn't find a solution

Anyone else had this problem and if so how did your resolve it.

Thanks
David J.
