<a name="Description"></a>
<h3>Description</h3>
<p align="justify">
This module simply sleeps a fixed length of time every request. The sleep time
can be configured globally, or per <VirtualHost>, <Directory>,
or <Location>.
This module serves more as an example than providing any really useful function,
though someone did ask for it - sort of.
</p>
<a name="Configuration"></a>
<h3>Configuration</h3>
<p>
The commands below can be added to the general Apache configuration file,
<code>httpd.conf</code>.
</p>
<dl>
<a name="SleepTime"></a>
<dt><span class="syntax">SleepTime <span class="param">duration</span></span></dt>
<dd>Context: server, <VirtualHost>, <Directory>, <Location>
<p align="justify">
The <span class="param">duration</span> is a number followed by an optional
suffix <!-- s, m, h, d, or w for seconds, minutes, hours, days, or weeks
respectively. --> s, m, or h for seconds, minutes, or hours
respectively. When no suffix is given the default is seconds.
</p>
</dd>
