Hi, I'm testing some code that uses Content-Type: multipart/x-mixed-replace;boundary=$separator to push updates from the server to the browser. The script shows two pages in succession; one that says 'processing' in the middle of the screen, and a second one that renders the page I actually want to see. I've put a 10 second sleep between the pages in the script. On my 'toy' server, I see the first page, wait 10 seconds and then get the second page. On my dev server however, I see an empty page for 10 seconds and then the second page is rendered. So I never see the 'Processing' message page. My 'toy' server is Wamp 2.2 running locally on the windows machine I'm using to edit the script. My dev server is based on U14.04 and runs in a VM on another LAN connected PC. The dev server is configured as per my sig. I have a very strong suspision that my problem is related to caching and/or buffering on the dev server because all the output (first and second page) is eventually received in my browser, but in a single chunk. Using FireFox's Inspector I can see that nothing is in the browser until the 10 second delay expires and then I get the whole lot. I have tried sending a bunch of whitespaces (approx 5000) after the first page so as to overflow the buffer. I have tried using the Cache-Control: no-cache header, and I have also tried flushing the buffer between pages. But nothing at a scripting level seems to make it work. Has anyone done this before? Anyone have any ideas on what's going wrong? Cheers, Nap ------------------- I can supply the script ('HV_HttpMultipart') if necessary, I retrieved it from phpClasses.com. I have turned off output_buffering and zlib compression in my php.ini file, but can supply more information about my php.ini and httpd.conf and other apache2 settings if asked. As I think it's just a matter of disabling a certain apache mod, here are the Apache modules that I have enabled. The first part of the list shows mods that are used in both my WAMP server and U14.04. Then second part is U14.04 only, and the third is WAMP only.
