Hi

I’m experiencing a situation where the browser “jams” periodically with 4D v14 
in remote mode. What happens is after 4-5 refreshes in fairly quick succession, 
the request hangs and the browser becomes unresponsive. On cancelling the 
request (i.e. in Safari, clicking the “x” at the end of the URL bar) it becomes 
responsive again and the request can be re-initiated, usually successfully.

I traced this to being invoked by the new http 1.1 lines in the Active4D shell 
request handler code - i.e. the part that checks for the presence of the 
“content-length” response header and closes the connection if not present. If I 
remove this block, the request hanging phenomenon disappears.

First of all, I’m wondering is this a feature or a bug ? (The browser hanging). 
Secondly, should we be adding the content-length header programmatically into 
all responses (but what about stuff like scripts and bits and pieces of static 
graphics etc - I won’t be able to cover everything).

Thirdly, can this code block be safely disabled to make the browsing smooth 
again ?

Finally, another new thing that occurs in 4D v14 all the time is that when it 
is shut down, 4D displays a message saying:

 “Task http connection handler” and 2 others are still running.
 “To let the application finish its work click ok”
 “To terminate and quit click cancel (You may damage your data)”

Despite this, there are no residual web processes running. Anyone else seen 
this ?

Any light that can be thrown on these issues - much appreciated !

Regards

Peter

P.S. The latest nightly builds are manifesting the “Pragma Cache” response bug 
again because Active4D’s shell thinks they’re outside the scope of “bugged 
versions” for WEB SEND RAW DATA whereas in fact they’re not because 4D haven’t 
fixed it yet but they do seem to have updated the revision number.
