Re: dynamically output messages on browser.
I wrote perl script to out put messages. It is supposed to output one line per 4 seconds. while loop has sleep(4), then print messages until all messages print out. But the server did not output the result per 4 seconds instead output all of results after 40 seconds How can I control that. Thanks. Apache is buffering the output. Put a "\n" at the end of your print statements and you should be okay, or an alternative would be to use $r-rflush after each print statement. -sc -- Sean Chittenden

I wrote a CGI that does some time consuming checks and displays the results by changing the graphics on the output page with script blocks as the data comes in. Both Netscape and IE execute the scripting as soon as they receive it, rather than waiting for the page to finish loading. - Matt
