find/replace: How handle timeouts?

[JensDiemer]

If we have many pages and do a find/replace how matches many pages, then the operation takes a long time... So it can raised a server timeout.

How should we handle this?

One work-a-round: You can't use the simulate. You must run the operation directly. A loop replaced the string page for page and saved directly the page after the replace. If a timeout appears, many pages changes already. The User must send the POST again and the operation completed more and more. This is very ugly, but it works ;)

We can implement a "use SQL replace method":
