Re: Output buffering under Apache

That thread doesn't really cover the same topic; close but not really. I'm looking to unbuffer output by avoiding Apache's CGI handler, that was more about preventing the user/browser from timing out when waiting on ANY data to appear.

As was said in the other thread by Merlyn: This works under modern Apache, but under older Apache versions, the script also had to be named nph-something to turn off the buffering. Consider the name as a signal that Apache should do its own $\| = 1 equivalent. I don't know why it doesnt work under 2.0 apache, but try renaming the script "nph-..." and looking into the docs on CGI.pm. That is how you get around apache's buffering.	[reply]
