Re: FastCGI PHP - unable to prematurely close connection to browser

February 07, 2010 06:30AM
First of all - thank you for your answer, I really appreciate it.

This is interesting - I have re-checked and it takes me 32ms to get the result on my development machine:
Server Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny4 with Suhosin-Patch
X-Powered-By PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny4
(PHP is installed as mod_php)

Still, it is very important for me to be able to postpone processing. If I can't do it on NginX I will probably have to find another server that can do this (overall load on the server is less important than quick response times in this case). I'm really hoping it's just a config thing... :)

From what I understand:
- PHP offers no way to prematurely close the connection except by setting and reaching Content-Length
- it is the web server (NginX / Apache) that can (should?) close the connection in this case

I can't make PHP close the conenction, so my only hope is NginX. Can it be told to do so? Am I missing something?

Thanks again!
