Hi Mike,

Thanks for the info. The problem is that I'm trying to output an M3U file to stream a series of MP3s, and some players won't properly parse the output due to the first line containing that chunk info. Is there a way to turn it on and off that you know of?

Thanks again,

Lux

I'm having a really strange output problem that I can't figure out.
The problem is that a few characters appear prepended and appended to
the body of the server response.  I'm running PHP 4.3.0 and 4.3.2 on
Mac OS X (tibook and xserve) and Red Hat 7.1 with 4.3.2 as well, with
Apache 1.3 on all of them.

Here is a reproduction of the problem on two servers:

 From the command line... (the following URL illustrates the problem,
feel free to use it)

(Request)
$ telnet dev.ourvoices.ca 80
GET /test.php HTTP/1.1
Host: dev.ourvoices.ca

(Response)
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
...other headers...
Content-Type: text/html

3
foo
0

(The code in /test.php)
<?php echo 'foo'; ?>

(What's with the 3 and the 0)

This is HTTP Chunked transfer encoding. Practically all browsers around
these days understand this, and will correctly render the above as just


foo

(The technical details are that output is sent as a series of chunks
consisting of the chunk length followed by that many bytes. A chunk length
of 0 indicates the end of the data.)


Cheers!

Mike
