Hi, I am dealing with a little bit strange requirements in apache. I want to use an "named pipe" generated by mkfifo as a file in apache directory. For example, I put one pipe file in as a.file in apache's directory and then generate the stream of snapshot of my screen into the pipe. In this case, I hope the client who fetches the a.mp4 file would receive a stream of my screen. To test it, 1. I set up a named pipe a.file 2. I execute cat < index.html > a.file 3. I open a browser and try to access http://localhost/a.file However, when I tried to do this, I found apache just simply close the connection and the browser stay blank. I wonder if I do something wrong. Why should it go this way? I searched google but found little relevant. Any suggestions?
