Hello, I am struggling with an issue and I have the following set up that reproduces the problem. I am running apache 2.2 on Centos 5.0. On the client side, I have a web page that polls the server every second. Using prototypejs, it looks like that: setInterval('polling();', 1000); function polling() { new Ajax.Request ( 'polling_server.php', { onSuccess: function(transport) { } } ); }
the polling_server.php does nothing: <?php ?> Most queries takes around 100-150 ms for a round trip (measured using firebug) Sooner or later though, one of those requests will take a lof of time and will timeout after 74000ms. Also, there are sequences of requests that take a lot of time (5, 10 seconds sometimes more) and then the system gets back to the normal 100ms. it looks like a jam. I'd like to understand why this is happening so that I can fix it. How could I explore the issue further? Where does the 74000ms come from? Is it something I can change in apache?
