Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-08-20 22:54:00] [EMAIL PROTECTED] try this script: <?php ob_start(); ?> foo <?php header("Connection-Type: Keep-Alive"); header('Content-Length: ' . ob_get_length()); ob_end_flush(); echo ob_get_length(); ?> And access it with this command: # lynx -head lynx -dump -head http://localhost/test.php I get this (correct) output: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2003 03:52:44 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) PHP/4.3.3RC5-dev X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.3RC5-dev Connection-Type: Keep-Alive Content-Length: 4 Connection: close Content-Type: text/html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-08-20 22:33:34] phpbug at paypc dot com One last thing... this bug report isn't just a pedantic exercise. When I have that defective Content-Length header in the headers, IE 5.00.3700.1000 SP4 under Windows 2000 Profession SP4 "hangs" for a few seconds during a pageview when that header is present. When I comment out the Content-Length header invocation, this problem goes away. NO INTERVENINIG PROXIES ARE INVOLVED - as it's a local intranet without even an intevening router in between the two machines. I am to understand that HTTP pipelining and keep-alive support is dramatically assisted by the presence of this header. I would like to make use of it. I am going to sprinkle my preamble+postamble across a wider mixture of PHP pages on my system (some with DB content and some without) to see if I can find common modes of failure. If any Zend/PHP devs can suggest a more surgical strike, I'd sincerely appreciate it. =Apollyon= ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-08-20 20:45:00] phpbug at paypc dot com Furthermore, when I removed the Keep-Alive header, nothing changes. IN FACT, my preamble file is now: header.inc: ------------------------------ <?php $start_time=gettimeofday(); ob_start(); ?> ------------------------------ footer.inc: ------------------------------ <?php header('Content-Length: ' . ob_get_length()); ob_end_flush(); ?> --------------------------------- The headers output from a page: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2003 01:36:53 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.27 Ben-SSL/1.48 Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0 Pragma: no-cache Set-Cookie: PHPSESSID=2989258979bd07405999448563ef4bfc; path=/ Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT Content-Length: 2809 Content-Type: text/html ------------------------------ The real content length is 2890 bytes. I make use of the following PEAR libraries: HTML_Quickform, ADODB session management, and Log (when enabled). I make use of mySQL and ctype() functions throughout my application. I utilise a "user-supplied session function" for PHP to make use of ADODB as opposed to using the built-in default session handler. =Apollyon= ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-08-20 20:34:39] phpbug at paypc dot com Testing with that script fragment (as the entire web-page), I get the following for output: ------------ SNIP ------------- HTTP/1.1 200 OK^M Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2003 01:28:13 GMT^M Server: Apache/1.3.27 Ben-SSL/1.48^M Connection-Type: Keep-Alive^M Content-Length: 0^M Content-Type: text/html^M ^M ------------ SNIP ------------- I assume this is correct. I displayed the CR's (I'm on UNIX). Apache 1.3.x doesn't support HTTP/1.1 style connections? In Apache 1.1 and 1.2 documentation, I see: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Enabling Keep-Alive Support Apache 1.1 comes with Keep-Alive support on by default, however there are some directives you can use to modify Apache's behavior: Note: Apache 1.2 uses a different syntax for the KeepAlive directive. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< I am *NOT* using PHP built as a CGI SAPI - it's a statically linked MODULE built into Apache-SSL. =Apollyon= ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-08-20 10:32:07] [EMAIL PROTECTED] What if eliminating the following line? header("Connection-Type: Keep-Alive"); Note that HTTP/1.1 style connection is not supported in either Apache 1 or CGI SAPI. And also try to generate a null output and see how it'll work: <?php header("Connection-Type: Keep-Alive"); header('Content-Length: 0'); ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
