http_buffer_responses

When on, this option streams HTTP packets from MobiLink into a buffer before processing them, instead of processing the bytes immediately as they are received.

Syntax

http_buffer_responses={ off | on }

Because of the extra memory overhead required, this feature should only be used to work around HTTP synchronization stability issues. In particular, the Microsoft ActiveSync proxy server for Windows Mobile devices throws away data that is not read within 15 seconds after the server has closed its side of the connection. Because MobiLink clients process the download as they receive it from MobiLink, there is a chance they will fail to finish reading an HTTP packet within the allotted 15 seconds, causing synchronization to fail with a stream error code when synchronizing using non-persistent HTTP. By specifying http_buffer_responses=on the client reads each HTTP packet in its entirety into a buffer before processing any of it, thereby working around the 15 second timeout.
