When I run the cgi version of the script in Firefox I get a fast response. The headers that are being sent with the response look like this
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2012 15:40:39 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.14 (Ubuntu) Vary: Accept-Encoding Content-Encoding: gzip Content-Length: 3430 Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=100 Connection: Keep-Alive Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 when I run the fastcgi version I'm seeing HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2012 15:41:16 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.14 (Ubuntu) Content-Length: 18310 Vary: Accept-Encoding Content-Encoding: gzip Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=100 Connection: Keep-Alive Content-Type: text/plain and the firefox browser hangs waiting for more content.A bit of debugging reveals that the actual document size is 18310 in fact the fastcgi script returns headers like this
fcgiwsgi.write final headers='Status: 200 OK\r\nContent-type: text/plain\r\nContent-Length: 18310\r\n\r\n'
which looks right. Wget returns a document of that length.My problem is that it appears that the apache2 server (Apache/2.2.14 (Ubuntu) mod_fastcgi/2.4.6) is returning the length of the gzipped document with the original length 18310. Presumably the correct gzipped length is as in the cgi case ie 3430.
Is there some trick to fix apache / mod_fastcgi to return the correct content length.
I found that I can work around this problem by not returning a content length from the fastcgi script; the server then appears to use a chunked return and the browsers seem to be fine with that.
