This probably has to do with the size of the output buffer in either Perl or whatever mechanism is being used to shuttle information from your CGI script through Tomcat and any other layers you may have in between. I would check the CGI runner you are using to see if there is a buffer size tweaking setting. I didn't see anything like that in http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/cgi-howto.html so you might want to check the code. CGIServlet appears to have a small (2048 byte) buffer for output, which shouldn't be a problem. It looks like the loop that monitors the (external) CGI process at 500ms intervals to check up on the process while no output is being produced. While output is being produced, it should be constantly moving data from the CGI's stdout to the ServletOutputStream (which is unbuffered). The /input/ from the CGI is buffered up through the end of the headers, and then the writer is ignored and the input stream is unbuffered (not really sure how this works properly...). It's possible that you are hitting odd buffer boundaries where a buffer flush requires several of these half-second pauses before enough data is available. Have you timed your perl script independently to see if there actually is a delay in generating the content, rather than simply moving if from the CGI to through Tomcat? - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkgtx7EACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PB4CACggNXDgd1RVziRT+L9KEFr60nC pVMAnim65WeLxS4QfhfKyeeD207ECWfm =Pnob -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
