ipl file hangs during cgi-callout but not from direct call

System

I have an interesting one. I have an ipl file that I am using for a cgi-callout. It works great when I call it directly from the browser, but when I call it from a DCR in a callout it hangs.

I believe the reason it is hanging is because of the very large amount of data that I am placing into the listbox.

It's strange that it works great with the large amount of data from a direct call to the ipl file from the browser, but not when called via a cgi-callout. If I reduce the amount of option values in the select field down to 20 or so, then it works.

I have attached the code.

This is a side by side listbox that allows the user to move value from one listbox to another.

Okay, here's the wierd thing. If I make the callout call an ipl that contains a redirect to the real ipl that I want, then it works and displays the large listbox. Tommorrow I am going to see if I can send the data back to the open dcr. Not sure if the redirect will make it lose focus.

Do you need to put hard coded values ?

Can you opt for retreiving from database in the cgi-callout, that should work better even in case of many values in the list box.

Actually, that's what I started out with was retrieving the values from the database, then I changed it to hardcoded to see if the database stuff was messing it up. But it fails either way.

I still haven't had a change to continue with trying the redirect solution. I'll update the post if I find that that works.

This is not a performance problem as the content is all static. Is the script hanging or just not sending back html? I dont see Content-type: text/html in your .ipl. You need this to get the right response from the server sometimes.

I got it to work properly, how, I'm not sure. But it's working without the redirect page in the middle.
