Hey Alex,
App Engine buffers output, as you observed, and waits for the response to
complete before sending it. This is described in the documentation
<https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/php/how-requests-are-handled#PHP_Responses>.
You could look into using Compute Engine <https://cloud.google.com/compute/>
with
a PHP runtime to get around this restriction.
Cheers,
Nick
