jaymc Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 This happens in IE and Firefox If I click to stream a 10MB audio file, I can not browse any other pages on my website until that 10MB file has fully downloaded Its as if it sits i a que. Is this something I can change in APACHE Conf?

corbin Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 It sounds to me like a badly written client side script that's looping too quickly or something.

jaymc Posted September 8, 2008 Author Share Posted September 8, 2008 Nothing is looping, its as if it wont process another request until the previous has completed, and if that requests takes 30 seconds because its a large file.. then thats how long you wait Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/123121-solved-steaming-locking-connection/#findComment-636506 Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 What's loading it client side? A Flash applet? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/123121-solved-steaming-locking-connection/#findComment-636985 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymc Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 Its an mp3 file streamed from a flash player I have had this issue with <OBJECT> and EMBED though, so it must be queue Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/123121-solved-steaming-locking-connection/#findComment-638446 Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Try loading up a different browser or browser instance while the mp3 is streaming, and see if it loads.

jaymc Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 Yeh it loads no issues with another browser Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/123121-solved-steaming-locking-connection/#findComment-639222 Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 This could be two things. The browser could be locking up (like I said earlier), or it could have to do with maximum number of connections. Try setting your max connections (don't remember the directive name, just search for "max" in httpd and I'm sure you'll find it) higher. I personally still think it's client side though. Just of curiosity, who wrote the Flash thing?

jaymc Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 It's not max connections, 200 and usually only 50 concurrent as per server status I have had this issue for years with browsers It's the same ifloading an image 3mb in size, everything After it will hang until it's finished Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/123121-solved-steaming-locking-connection/#findComment-639857 Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Sounds to me like it's just a browser limitation and has nothing to do with Apache. Does it happen on other sites for you? Try to find a high res image somewhere or something. I don't get why a server side queue would make the client side freeze. (Well, a loop with no delay could, but no browser coder would do that.)
