Hi, I am trying to stream video over HTTP and want to send each TCP packet to be exactly 1316. I am trying the FCGX_FFlush after FCGX_PutStr, but still looking at the packets they are random size.... It looks like there is same buffering/caching in the middle.
Could you help me with this?

It this moment, Hiawatha does not support that. (Fast)CGI output is indeed buffered to optimize the output stream. If you clearly specify what feature you are looking for, I will take a look. No promises yet about any implementation.

Hi, Hugo,

Thank you for the prompt reply. We need to be able to flush the output buffer to output exactly 1316, because when streaming MPEG TS over HTTP this is exactly 7 * 188 bytes packets. Some players like VLC need to receive the data in a single packet to be able to decode it. What can we do in order to make Hiawatha send such packets?

At this moment, nothing. I'm about to release 9.15 and next week I'm on vacation. But after that I can make some changes to Hiawatha and we can experiment if I can make Hiawatha work well with your MPEG stream. How does that sound?

Thank you very much! Hope to see it working soon, let me know if I can help you with something....
Please, do not forget me!

Please, send your e-mail address to hugo at hiawatha-webserver.org. I will contact you after my vacation.
