I have a problem that seems to stem from this weird behavior:
I have a clean install of the latest Apache and the latest PHP. Then I have this PHP file:
[code=php]<?php
sleep(5);
echo ‘Hello, World!’;
I open this PHP file in a Firefox tab, then quickly open the same file in another tab. Both tabs should process for 5 seconds, and the second tab should finish just a few moment after the first. But that doesn’t happen. The second tab takes about 9 seconds to finish its request. It seems like the second tab doesn’t start processing until the first tab has finished.
And this all seems very browser dependent. I have this problem in FF and Safari, but not in IE or Chrome.
Has anyone had any experience with this? Any ideas how to solve it?
