Show all headers | View raw

    Unfortunately No .    I build the whole page (sometimes up to 382K) 
inside my CGI app.  When it is completely assembled, I output it at once to 
my Apache 2.2.22 server. I will 'time' the building in my cgi app, and see 
how long it taks to receive, assemble, and send -- I'll let you know

    As noted above, I follow the same procedure in my CGI server app, and 
when the page is built and complete, I output it to Apache where it is 
(assumedly) 'gzipped' and then is sent off to the client.

    So, I'm still perplexed.

    But, what I see on my client's screen (which is really *me* testing) is 
my final content I wish left in place, but displayed only for a 
split-second, then the screen reverting to the original screen, then a long 
wait, then the new screen displays.

    So, it is between the 'submit' and the reception that something happens 
to revert to the original screen during the wait process..

    I'll have to take this to bed with me again and hope I get an 
inspiration.

Thanks for the comment.
