I have a script that occasionally needs to do some time-consuming (15s) background processing, but other times it is a simple redirect. The redirect target is known early on in the script’s execution. Is it possible to, once the redirect URL is known, send the redirect HTML to the user agent and close the HTTP response, but continue processing the script?

    You could solve this by executing a program (BAT, EXE, etc) asynchronously from the ASP code.

        set wshell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 
    runcmd = "c:\myOwnProgram.bat param1=test"
    wshell.run runcmd, 0, False

    Wshell.Run lets you run stuff async. So fire away your timeconsuming tasks without worrying about script timeouts! Really great.
