Re: [PHP] Re: PHP script lag (5 secs) when declaring mime type.
Thankyou for the help,
I will contact the script maintainer to ask him to work on this problem
for future updates, and for the moment I've commented out the line that
specifies the length.
I suppose that it won't cause any problems with files that are sent
through this script that are not gzipped (this script allows html, js,
css (all compressed with gzip) as well as images that aren't compressed.
From what I understand the best would be to detect if gzip is activated
for each file and only allow the header to specify the length if the
file is not planned to be compressed with gzip (images etc).
Thanks again :)

I thought about zlib gzip taking maybe a long time to load but I've
changed the compression level from 6 to 1 and the file still has a the

Content-Length MUST NOT be sent when using a
Transfer-Encoding (eg. gzip).
See: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-4.4
And I goofed: Transfer-Encoding is the stuff that says
chunked. I was thinking of Content-Encoding. But the
section I refered to also says:
If a Content-Length header field (section 14.13) is present, its
decimal value in OCTETs represents both the entity-length and the
transfer-length. The Content-Length header field MUST NOT be sent
if these two lengths are different
[And a little further down, it mentions that the
recipient can arse it. I'm not sure quite what
to make of that. :-)]
- - -
Come to think about it, I've written some output handlers
to convert utf-8 to utf-16 or -32, which uses either
'Content-Length' or 'Transfer-Encoding: chunked' depending
on the size of the output. Perhaps I should change that to
always 'chunked'...

[PHP] PHP script lag (5 secs) when declaring mime type.
Hello,
I don't know for sure is this problem is only related to PHP so I hope
I've posted in the right list.
My problem is that with certain headers my script takes about 5 seconds
before sending the page, no matter how small the file I try to load...
My server :
Centos
Apache 2.2
PHP 5.2.9
Here's my code :
?php
header('Content-Type: application/x-javascript');
header('Content-Length: '.filesize('test.js'));
readfile('test.js');
?
test.js is only a few lines long, and if I remove the header content
type the file loads instantaniously do it's not a problem with readfile.
I thought about zlib gzip taking maybe a long time to load but I've
changed the compression level from 6 to 1 and the file still has a the
same lag.
My server responds very fast for eveything else except this script. Do
you have an idea what might be causing this lag ?
Thanks in advance :)

Re: [PHP] PHP script lag (5 secs) when declaring mime type.
Hello, Just to say that I've got a bit further in my search :
?php
header('Content-Type: application/x-javascript');
//header('Content-Length: '.filesize('test.js'));
readfile('test.js');
?
(Content-Length line removed) Has no lag...
My guess is there is a problem with gzip or something that corrupts the
content-length.
So I'm still not sure if this is a PHP problem or an apache problem but
any help would be great :)
Thankyou

Re: [PHP] PHP script lag (5 secs) when declaring mime type.
Thankyou,
I took application/x-javascript directly from the apache setup for my
domain so this should be correct.
However I've just deactivated gzip (zlib.output_compression OFF in
php.ini) and that stopped the problem.
I've given you a simplified version of the script that has the exact
same problem (the original one gets the mime type automaticaly and has
the same problem with any files that are gziped (css, html, javascript
etc... but not images.).
So the problem seems to have someting to do with this line :
header('Content-Length: '.filesize('test.js'));
and with gzip ...
I would like to be able to activate gzip again but I need to work out
why I'm getting this bug first.
Apache isn't installed with mod_deflate, should I look into doing this
instead of turning zlib.output_compression on again ?
Is there maybe a bug with PHP 5.2.9 that's causing this problem?
Thankyou :)

Well, have you tried using Content-Type: text/javascript as
suggested? Is application/x-javascript absolutely necessary for
whatever application is reading your script's output? As it has
already been mentioned, Apache may be looking for your content type in
some sort of lookup table, not finding it, and taking its sweet time
returning control back to PHP while it grabs at straws to match.
