Re: QtmhWrStout

Call it what you want ;-)

I have a CGI-program that writes a buffer out via qtmhWrStout, i may call
qtmhWrStout one or several times
for the same transaction and it still works. There is no way to signal to
QtmhWrStout that the last call is the
last call so there is no way the HTTP header knows the length of the data
that follows.

Since qtmhWrStout dosn't know when the stream end my program isn't ending
(*lr = on) there is no way
Apache can know when data tream ends.

The whole transaction takes about 1.5ms in the cgi program running an SQL
and generating a JSON object.

I can btw build in a delay of 50ms between calls to qtmhWrStout it dosn't
matter if the CGI program runs
for 151.1ms instead of 1.5ms the time in the other end just takes around
180ms.

When I call it from my browser the entire call takes around 35ms so about
33ms is lost in transfering the
about 4K of data somewhere.

If I do the same from a node.js program running in the machine calling the
service over port 127.0.0.1 where
there are no network latency it takes excactly the same time - 35ms so
somewhere 33ms is lost in unaccouted
time.

What we call ajax is actually an XMLHttpRequest. There are messages that
set different states. Along with the states it sends byte counts for
various stages of the process. When it gets to the state that indicates
that it's done, it checks the bytes received against what it was told to
expect, and if it matches, starts processing the response.

Tanks,

but how does AJAX call know when e.g. a JSON file send is finish so the

AJAX

starts to process the data it receives?

since you may call QtmhWrStout repeatly to flush the total data to a

browser through StdOut how do you tell it that it is *EOD so it close
the connection?

Hi Henrik,

As the browser established the connection, it will be in charge for
closing it as well. If your server does not reply in due time then a
timeout will occur.
Normally the browser "knows" when to close the connection based on the
data you sent.
