[users@httpd] Apache's buffer flush issue..

["Zysman, Roiy" <ro...@intel.com>]

Hi All,
 
I'm reposting it for the second time because I didn't get any response the
first time. I'm sure that a mailing list with such distinguished members can
share some light on my problem.
 
I'm using Apache 2.0.43. The problem is that when running a cgi that outputs
html code it becomes visible (on the browser ) only  after the cgi scripts
ends.
On my other Apache 1.3.23 the first parts of the generated html are
outputted immediately while the cgi script is running . 
Does Apache 2.0 differ in the way if flushes its buffer compared to 1.3.23? 
Is there anyway to tell Apache 2.0 to make the buffer flush immediately?
 
Thanks.
Roiy

Does apache know this is an nph script? Is the script named nph-scriptname.cgi?
Are you sure it's Apache and not your scripting language? Perl will buffer by
default.
