mod_proxy buffering woes

Post #21,842 by admin 12/18/01 11:17:41 AM Reply	mod_proxy buffering woes We're trying to use Apache to proxy a back-end process that serves up discrete bits of information that need to be immediately sent back to the browser, but mod_proxy buffers everything internally. So far, I haven't been able to get mod_proxy to stop buffering things... Any ideas? Regards, -scott anderson

Did you try the "NoCache worker.mydom.com" in the conf?? Look [link\|http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_proxy.html\|here] for more info. edit: Dammit I hate when I do that!!! `greg, curley95@attbi.com -- REMEMBER ED CURRY!!!` In 2002, everyone will discover that everyone else is using linux. * Linux: Good, fast AND cheap.

One last thing you may try is diggin through the source for mod_proxy and actually setting the "system buffer" useage to 0 also.. (ca't remember where it is or what it is called) and recompile the module using apxs (if that is setup properly too) One way or the other, I'll report back... might be a bit fer reading/hacking... You too though if you finger it out. BTW, how big is the payload??? `greg, curley95@attbi.com -- REMEMBER ED CURRY!!!` In 2002, everyone will discover that everyone else is using linux.

We're going to change it to recognize a Pragma: auto-flush (or something similar) instead. The payload is structured data, typically about 30-40 bytes long, issued no less frequently than once per second. Regards, -scott anderson
