Re: Using LWP or IO::Socket::INET without Buffering

If you are using Apache on your NT machine, you should look into setting up mod_proxy. It'll probably end up saving you a lot of grief. If you are not, there must be some equivalent piece of software for IIS (or whatever you are using).

Yes I am using Apache 2 on the NT Machine and I have just looked at the mod_proxy and it works however it seems to buffer the output. I have looked at the Apache site and there is a directive that I can use to stop buffering, but there is a bug that will not allow a buffer smaller than 8192 bytes using the ProxyIOBufferSize 8192 apache 2 directive. I know its not a Perl question, but if any one has experience of this module I would appreciate it. Otherwise I will have to get my Perl Script to output about 8000 bytes of information after each print to that it will display properly. Many thanks again!! The monks never let me down!	[reply]
