Re: Capturing headers with output buffering?

Hi George: It's something that's probably better solved in user-space, but I figured I'd poke around anyway. :) I'm attempting to write a little prefork HTTP server entirely in PHP. The script instansiates an 'application class', which is persistent across requests. Output of the application is captured with an ob_* callback function, and then stuffed down a socket. I'm hoping for free in-memory opcode caching and database connection persistence (by virtue of recycling the same interpreter across multiple requests), and possibly the elimination of a lot of application-specific startup time. Of course, this whole thing could very well just be a bad idea. :) Anyway, headers aren't currently included in the buffered output, which causes the header() function to print to stdout, effectively doing nothing. I could just wrap header() with a user-space function, but that would prevent a lot of scripts from running as-is. Bad idea? Maybe. There's also the matter of getting it to parse POST/GET without completely reinventing the wheel... - Dave On Sun, Nov 24, 2002 at 05:57:33PM -0500, George Schlossnagle wrote: | What are you trying to accomplish? | | | On Sunday, November 24, 2002, at 05:40 PM, David Brown wrote: | | >Hi: | > | >Architecturally speaking, is there any simple way to modify an sapi | >backend to return HTTP headers through the output buffering mechanism? | > | >As far as I can tell, headers are managed seperately by main/output.c, | >with php_ub_body_write_no_header being substituted in once the HTTP | >headers are sent. | > | >Pointers to anything would be greatly appreciated. | > | >TIA, | >- Dave | > | > | >-- | >PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> | >To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php | > | |
