Actually, it's a very good idea and very well supported. Even with HTTP/1.0, Web servers support persistent connections; the client simply has to ask for it with the "Connection: Keep-Alive" header. In HTTP/1.1 (obviously the Web server he was dealing with), you have to ask for the server to close the connection with a "Connection: Close" header, because persistent connections are the default behavior. >That said, I suspect that fgets() is looking for a particular character all >by itself on a line that determines the end of a file.

If the Web server doesn't close the connection, the client doesn't close the connection, and the client endlessly loops waiting for more content, it's going to hang. That's to be expected. :) >Disclaimer: I'm not promising any of this is correct -- mostly guess-work >here. > I explained this more thoroughly here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&m=102522127531834&w=2 Cheers.
