IIS places all ASP requests into a queue. If the request has been queued for longer than the number of seconds specified by the AspQueueConnectionTestTime metabase property, then ASP will check to determine whether the client is still connected before executing the request. If the client is no longer connected, the request will not be processed, and will be deleted from the queue.
Tip Users often will not wait very long for ASP pages to be processed. Although the maximum waiting time varies from user to user, the generally accepted maximum is approximately 10 seconds. You can use the AspQueueConnectionTestTime metabase property to make sure that IIS does not waste time processing a request that has been abandoned by the user.
Note that this metabase identifier is useful for making ASP processing efficient only up to the point at which ASP begins to process the script. Once the script is being executed, however, your application should continue to check for client connection at appropriate times during the script's execution, by using the ASP method IResponse::IsClientConnected.
