Re: gdi question

well...that WAS it.

i'm testing development on an xp pro/iis/php 5 configuration...and, if you
hack the iis metabase you can change the max connections from 10 to 40...at
least it will accept 40 as the highest valid value anyway. having doubts as
to whether iis was even looking at that value, i uninstalled iis-www and
installed xitami. i have the max connections left blank for now...and,
vioala! every thumbnail is shown in the browser without fail!

thanks a million for your help!

| One connection can be used only to get one resource at a time. Most
browsers
| to speed up loading of pages opens some additional connections to the
server
| to get more than one resource (image, CSS file, JS file etc.) at a time.
| If the count of connections opened by the prowser exceeds the server
limits
| (server returns error code stating that) then the browser should decrease
it,
| but most browsers do not - they treat the error code like any other error
| code, which means that the browser shows the image as unavailable. It does
| not matter if the browser keeps the opened connections (reuses them) or
| not because the count of requests processed at the same time is the true
| limit.

|
| Browser settings or server settings? The first one should be changed first
| to check if it's really the cause. If you are sure that that's it, then
| check the server settings (there can be more than one parameter involved
| like total limit, limit on connections from same host etc.).
