Unless I'm missing something Jerry's answer still stands. If you write a
server-side CGI exe using Delphi, the browser will still timeout while
waiting for your random wait.

If you are planning on running the Delphi utility through some other
method (at, scheduled jobs, etc) then you could do the same thing with PHP
(using set_time_limit()) and it would work equally fine.

Cheers,


Andy
