Hello,
I am writing a CGI application for a conferencing WWW system. I need the
server to send and the client to output small portions of data as they
become awailable. But, the I ran in to the following problem: the data
gets printed on the screen only by accumulated chanks of approximate size
3700K (or end of connection of course). I do not know whether the server
holds the output from the script until it accumulates a packet of 3700K
or the Netscape does it.
I played with header fields, ex. Content-Length: XXX, but in vain.
Does anyone know what: the client or the server, hold the data, and how
can I change the size of the packet to be sent?
We are running NCSA httpd_1.4.1 and Netscape 1.1N
Thank you very much. David.
