I *THINK* ignore_user_abort() is only useful with some browsers...
Or, perhaps, it relies on Apache figuring out that the connection is dead,
and reporting back to PHP, and there's a fair amount of time-lag in that
process...
Or, perhaps, it never really worked very well...
All I now for sure is that I have this vague idea in my head that it's just
not something you can really rely on.
It's still convenient to kill lengthy processes, but not for
mission-critical knowledge of the HTTP status.
If you *NEED* to be sure, I think you're stuck with Java applet/servelet
setup, from what I hear. (Strictly heresay.)
