in thread how to implement "tail -f" using CGI

Sorry for being *nix-centric. I only have done perl coding on linux/unix. I don't know how unbuffering behaves on a windows machine. This works perfectly on my linux boxes. Sorry!

    Who said I was doing this on Windows? Ah! The "IE 5.0". Well, my browser is running on Win2k, but everything else is under Linux.

    Btw, it seems that Apache (at least my copy) buffers in 512 byte blocks; regardless of what the CGI itself is doing.

      If your Apache is older than version 1.3, the nph- solution mentioned below may help. After that, it's supposed to have removed any Apache-specific buffering.
