Unfortunately, you probably won't find anything that works. The reason is
that it is probably the browser that is giving up and closing the
connection. With the latest Tomcat/mod_jk, it might be possible if you can
send a few KB of data and flush it to keep the browser from flushing it on
you. But this still isn't a fix, because if the user is behind a proxy, the
proxy may try and read the entire body (so the browser sees it as taking too
long), or simply time out because the total request is taking too long.
