Turning off buffering ($=1) doesn't work on Apache server

**shahyar7** · 02-27-2007, 07:33 AM

Hello all

I used the code below to turn off the buffering but it doesn't work. When I call the code from the browser it supposed to show START at first and then wait for 5 seconds and then show END. But the browser doesn't display anything for 5 seconds and then show START and END at the same time. When I tested the code on a Windows based system it works great but it works as I said on Apache server. Also the code works great at the command line. Does any body knows what the problem is?

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
$| = 1;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<html><head></head><body>";
print "START\n";
sleep 5;
print "End\n";
print "</body></html>\n";

My Perl version is: 5.8.0
My Apache version is: 1.3.37 (Unix)

Thank you all.

I seggest you make sure your apache settings are correct. Look up on info about output buffering in the apache settings. usually web systems flush on 4096 bits. Also make sure you are sending the correct headers, some browsers wont show anything util it gets it all if you have the wrong headers are sent. Also make sure that apache isnt gz'ing it.
