I thought I had solved this problem yesterday but apparently not - the 'download' mocks cron task causes the page to cease loading, then followed by a "MySQL server has gone away" error.

I have no idea why this is happening - however, the alteration to the way that mocks are to be served could well end up fixing this. I am hoping to have Dave simply transfer the mocks directly to their in house server - the only thing that will need prepping from the online server is it should post a request to the mock server to generate the appropriate named hash folder - I think it may be the amount of data that it tries to throw down the line that causes the page to hang.

The method outlined above would mean the transfer of a 40 character string rather than a multi megabyte PDF document.
