Re: OT: Heisenbug with binary data output in PHP

[Felix Geisendörfer]

Hey meek, I think you found the exact bug. It's Microsoft to blame: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;317949 SYMPTOMS Data loss may occur if all of the following conditions exist: A bind of a listen socket is completed in a parent process. An accept is completed in a child process. Fast sends are happening. This is exactly what I experience, and this explains why putting some usleep() statements in when outputting the image via a fread loop seems to have a positive effect (slows down the send process)! However, I'm not sure if I like the solution: RESOLUTION To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows XP. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: The problem is that I have had a really bad time installing a service pack on my system in the past, but maybe that was because I tried to install from a different windows cd (I got an OEM version) with SP 2 instead of Downloading the patch (which is a bad option since I'm on 64 kbit) ... Hmm but they a Afd.sys file that seems to be problematic, maybe I can simply replace this with a SP 2 version. (Yeah, I know it's a bad idea ^^). Thanks to all the others who have looked into this as well. I'll see if I can fix my system somehow without going through some major pain ... --Felix Geisendörfer aka the_undefined -------------------------- http://www.thinkingphp.org http://www.fg-webdesign.de meek schrieb: I found a couple of things which might be relevant: The section 'Problems Installing or Running Apache 2' on this page: http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/README.html - which I got to from this: http://marc2.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-bugdb&m=101484400413021&w=2 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~  You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
