I call a perl script on a UNIX CGI server and only need the header
information, not the entire body.
The perl script returns the headers, but then uses a second process to do
the bulk of the work.
I get the response back in less than a second with the information that I
need in the headers. If I open the stream, it takes a few minutes to get the
body.
If I don't open the stream or close the response, I'm done in less than one
second. If I don't close the response, I get all sorts of connection
problems because of the open streams.
How can I close the response and not wait until the second CGI process is
complete?
Thanks, Richard
