My script works fine when output compression is turn off (its off in php.ini, and ob_start('gz_handler') is not being used.
If I turn on compression via ob_start('gz_handler'), I get sporadic problems with page loading.
Here is what I mean by "sporadic".
Im going to use the php website as an example.
If you visit www.php.net, and try to click the documentation link, www.php.net/docs.php does not load, and you will still be at www.php.net.
Once you are at this stage, depending on the circumstances of this "oddity" you may end up clicking the documentation link several times before the actual www.php.net/docs.php page actually loads.
This "oddity" occurs at random, so sometimes you will be able to get to
www.php.net/docs.php immediately, and sometimes you have to click the
link several times, before the resulting page loads.
So this "oddity" happens in my code, that displays the website, in the scripts that produce my RSS files (which is very loosely tied to the main site, enough to call it a separate entity), and it happens in Chora (http://horde.org/chora/).
All three, enable compression via ob_start('gz_handler')
I dont think its a browser problem, as I've experienced this "oddity" on IE and Gecko browsers.
Whenever I visit my CVS via Chora for the first time since the browser was started, and this "oddity" occurs, it generates empty session files, till the actual Chora front page is loaded.
This is just to show of what may be happening behind the scenes.
And just to point out, that even after Im able to get into Chora, at some random future time, the "oddity" may occur again...
I would appreciate any help in this matter. Thank You for your assitance.
