Re: [Speedycgi-users] CGISpeedy: Browser not returning "DONE" when done.

[Sam H. <sa...@da...>]

THis is usually caused by a process started by the CGI that continues
running after the CGI is done.  If the background process continues to
keep stdout open, your web server won't see an EOF on the pipe, so it
just hangs.

Oracle is known to do this - this is documented with a workaround in the
SpeedyCGI documentation under Frequently Asked Questions.
