Blackberry - MDS cache and timeout configuration

Question

For normal HTTP connections does the MDS waits till the complete request is finished (collects all data) and sends the data afterward to the client? When I make an http connection to a server containing a file of around 5mb, I have to wait for a considerable amount of time before I get the response. Sometimes the connection also times out.

You can control mds timeout by mds config parameter IPPP.queue.flow control.timeout (default = 60000)

If the handheld does not send an acknowledgement within the time frame specified here, the Mobile Data Service discards all content pending to the handheld. This parameter is measured in milliseconds.
