Increase max-write-idle in lighty-webConfigurator.conf

Hi All,

While trying to install the ntop package on pfSense 1.2 I ran into a 6 minute timeout from lighttpd. The package was taking more than 6 minutes to download so the webgui aborted the installation.

The default setting in lighttpd for server.max-write-idle is 360 seconds and since the conf file doesn't change the setting this is the default behaviour in the webgui.

To work around this I modified /var/etc/lighty-webConfigurator.conf (for currently running system) and /etc/inc/system.inc (for future reboots) and set max-write-idle to 86400. This suits me, but may not be to everyone's taste.

Could the developers give this some thought and maybe:

Set a fixed value that is larger than 6 minutes in system.inc
or
Add a configuration parameter so that end users can change the timeout

Thanks
Jonty
