Hy,
   I've a problem with a keep-alive connection. I've describe it in
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=40895 but it seems to not
be a bug.

   The problem is simple: My browser calls the same page twice
with a keep-alive connection.

The first time, I answer quickly but i have some stuff to do
so I use the "Content-Length" to indicate to the browser that
the response is done:

ignore_user_abort(true);
$msg="toto";
header("Content-Length: ".strlen($msg));
echo $msg;
flush();
... some long time stuff here


The browser clearly understand the Content-Length because
it makes the second Http Request before the end of the first call
(after the read of the strlen($msg) bytes).

Then, the second call is blocked until the first call is entirely done.

Now, If I explicitly ask the browser for closing the connection:

header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate");
header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT");
header("Connection: close");

$msg="toto";
header("Content-Length: ".strlen($msg));
echo $msg;
flush();


all work fine.

To my question is really simple:
  How could I tell to php to notify apache that the response is done so
it will treat the second response hence if the first call is not finished?

Note:
*I look for something like closing standard output but I didn't find a solution *I'm not interested in solution like putting the job into a database table and
having a cron process.
*I think there is no php functions/way to do so, so isn't it a bug? (missing important
feature).


Thx
   Julien Allali.
