Hello Monks,

I have a problem with my perl script continuously pushing data to the web client running Firefox. The problem is that the client intermittently lost connection to the server. After I installed a network analyser software (Ethereal) on the Apache server, I found out that the client is sending a http [RST, ACK] to the server for some reason. Does anyone have any clue what all this mean? Please help.

Thanks.
