Sample 1: upload a file, some image downloads.
Sample 2: Typical problematic long-running script (.asp)
The script http://www.fin.cz/katalog/financni.asp is a typical problematic script, which may your server rapidly slow down. The script already sent all data to a client (Out raw data are 34499B and the number do not grow), but it is still working. Running time of the script is more than 3 minutes. The script probably contains some endless do-loop, but the do-loop is placed at the end of code, after client receives all required data. Or there may be some problematic code working with database at the end of script (some cross-locking SQL commands). The script ends after Server.ScriptTimeout. You cannot see a problem as a client - everything looks well from client side and your clients do not report problem. But you can usually see the problem at server-side. You can see that other scripts are rapidly slow-down. You can see that CPU Usage is at 100% at the time, if you monitor your server using performance monitor or other tool (task manager). The problematic process is usually dllhost.exe (.asp), aspnet_wp.exe (.aspx asp.net pages) or inetinfo.exe (if you run scripts in Low/IIS process application protection or in older versions of IIS). IISTracer is exactly designed to reveal such kind of problematic scripts. See also Monitor extremly slow or problematic scripts (ASP hangs, not responding web) Sample 3: Scripts processing POST data
The scripts http://www.fin.cz/nazory/default.asp and http://www.zpravodaj.cz/m.asp received all POST data, [In raw] = [In Content length], but they still did not send a response to a client. Client for '/nazory/default.asp' cannot see response for more than one minute. This situation is usually not so critical, but the script /nazory/default.asp is strong adept for time/performance optimization. Sample 4: Another long-running ASP requests (cat.dat, default.asp)
