View source for CLOSEIMMED (JANUS DEFINE parameter)

<span class="pageSubtitle">Bump lost web threads immediately.</span>

<var>CLOSEIMMED</var> is a parameter on <var>[[JANUS DEFINE]]</var>, which defines and sets characteristics of a Janus port. 

This parameter indicates that if a lost connection is noticed by the Janus PST, the PST should BUMP the <var class="product">Model 204</var> thread associated with the connection immediately. If <var>CLOSEIMMED</var> is not specified a lost connection will only cause request termination when the web thread invokes a $Web function. Typically, the Janus PST will not notice that a connection has been lost until the user issues a [[$Web_Done]] because until then there will be no TCP/IP calls that can discover that the connection has been lost. Without the <var>[[CLOSEREAD (JANUS DEFINE parameter)|CLOSEREAD]]</var> parameter the <var>CLOSEIMMED</var> parameter will probably have no effect.

<var>CLOSEREAD</var> and <var>CLOSEIMMED</var> are useful for ensuring that CPU and I/O intensive web requests will be terminated immediately should the user become impatient and cancel the request. 

Valid only for <var>[[JANUS DEFINE#type|WEBSERV]]</var> ports.
