| Description | I submitted a post about this topic at https://forums.limesurvey.org/forum/design-issues/145369-importing-large-number-of-participants-from-a-csv-results-in-gateway-timeout.
Essentially, uploading a CSV containing 45 thousand participant records (firstname, lastname, email), reaching 1.7 MB in size, takes more than 60 seconds to complete with no visual feedback about progress. The default gateway timeout error for PHP and Apache is thrown - "The gateway did not receive a timely response from the upstream server or application.". After this error, the site freezes, and in order to get back to the site, I must close my browser, and open it again.
The upload button should be disabled during the uploading of CSV imports. And including some user feedback like a progress bar, and a mechanism to keep the connection alive would be ideal. |

| Steps To Reproduce | Steps to reproduce
Import a large number of participants via a CSV. Something like 30 thousand+ should reproduce this.
Expected result
The import is takes less than 10 seconds to complete. The upload button is disabled so users don't repeatedly click it. A progress bar, or upload feedback is displayed.
Actual result
The CSV appears to be uploading, with a loading icon in the browser's tab, but when the Gateway Timeout is reached, we have no idea about the results of the upload. |
