You use the same TCP connection (stream) for multiple requests to the webserver. It is a bit strange, but it's supported. Sounds like the OPs webserver isn't allowing the persistent connections to go through. Maybe Apache needs to be configured differently. Or PHP might be doing it. Or maybe the client application should be rewritten to not use persistent HTTP connections. ;-) > Just what popped into my head when I read this. > > -TG > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: d c [mailto:php9341@xxxxxxxxx] > > Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2004 2:51 PM > > To: php-windows@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > > Subject: connection: close header > > > > > > Hello, > > > > I am using php 4.3.4 on windows 2000 with iis 5 and isapi.
