how do i control the time before a "Silent client get disconnected" ?
It seems to happen in my particular case a couple of minutes after the Authenticated connection is silent. It does not happen with all clients but with one in particular.
thanks for your help

You'll get the message when a client connects and disconnects without sending a single byte and before the TimeForRequest timeout has been reached. You can suppress this warning via the LogTimeouts setting.

I get the "403 forbidden" error on the client side after a while with no activity (a few minutes). I had the impression if was happening once I got the "Silent client disconnected" on the server side but I'm not sure. Does this warning also resets an authenticated connection with a the client? I didn't have this behavior with previous versions of Hiawatha (a couple of versions ago I am not sure which one).

I can confirm the error can be reproduced: files that are accessible turn into 403 forbidden. This seems to happens after a period of inactivity.
I am using HTTP authentication. I am running Hiawatha on Win10 x64.

Hugo i eventually got the reason, the client is in the background connecting with another user/password with lower rights, this is happening every 10 min. It is therefore disconnecting and losing the rights on the files from the first authenticated connection. No issue on Hiawatha side.

That's good to hear.
