Auto flush doesn't work as expected

[Leif Wessman]

Auto flush doesn't work for me. I've read the FAQ.

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use strict;
$| = 1;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "Printed at once<br>";
sleep(3);
print "3 seconds later";

Everything gets printed after 3 seconds. However, when I try it from
the command line it works.

I'm using Apache/2.0.54 and perl 5.8.0.

So there's nothing wrong with the code and autoflush is
actually doing what you expect...

I'm using Apache/2.0.54 and perl 5.8.0.

This is a question about how a browser renders data
claiming to be HTML.

I've found the problem. I was using a anti-virus software called
Kaspersky. They analyze all HTTP traffic. You can guess what the side
effect was...

Thanks for all help!
