Hello!
I work with an apache web server 2.0.4.
A few days ago I was using tcpdump to find a problem with my web
application.
I found out that sometimes (I was testing always with one cgi-program)
the content of the html-page was splitted into only a few normal-sized
packets and a few times this content was splitted into a lot of very
small packets (some only have 7 or 10 bytes). And this is a problem
for me.
Is there a configuration or another way to avoid this very small
packets.
Maybe somebody can give me a hint.
Thank you

Hello!
There is another question I want to ask (question 2):
At the client I get packets with a normal size.
When on the server a lot of packets with a size of 7 and 10 bytes are
sent
to the client, where are the packets put together to a normal size?

To the first message of this thread I want to add something:
On google-groups I found someone who had the problem, that he had a
lot
of 1 byte-packets with the apache server. A guy told him he should
avoid
1byte-write-calls in his cgiprogramm.

Maybe that's ok for him, but I have a lot of small packets (7,10,20
byte) and
I do not have 7, 10 or 20-byte-write-calls. I write my cgi-programs in
cobol
and my calls for writing ONE line in my test-program have
approximately 50 bytes
and I cannot imagine why the compiler should split those calls up into
7,10 and 20 byte-write-calls.

Is there anyone who can help me?

Any thing that re-assembles IP-pakcets...
.. e.g. Ethernetswitch, ADSLmodem

Though Cobol is not my cup of tea... Assuming this ONE line is a single
DISPLAY statement, does it also have just ONE value to show or multiple
values, those being outputted (by the interpreter) one value at a time?? If
so try a multi-level data description and display only the single top level
item.
