Hello, I have a multiplayer flash game talking to an Apache module (and the module in turn talks over a Unix pipe to the backend-daemon). It works ok, but is naturally a bit sluggish because updates are being polled by the flash client every 20 seconds.
I'd like to rewrite my application, so that a HTTP request hangs if there is no new information and returns later - when new infos from other players arrive at the server. http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit-incubator/wiki/ServerPushFAQ recommends to close the KeepAlive connection when returning the new information to the browser. How can I forcibly close the KeepAlive connection from my module please? Currently I open connection to the Unix pipe in the child init phase and then in the handler phase I read the GET or POST request, write to the pipe, read back from the pipe and write to the browser: ap_set_content_length(r, len); ap_send_http_header(r); if (len != ap_rwrite(buf, len, r)) { ap_log_rerror(APLOG_MARK, APLOG_ERR, r, "ap_rwrite (%u bytes) failed", len); return HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR; } return OK; Thank you for any ideas Alex PS: I'm using Apache 1.3.29 on OpenBSD 4.5 with "KeepAlive On" and "KeepAliveTimeout 300"
