you cannot use jquery.ajax to continuously read the response of an http response. jquery ajax will only call the success callback function when the connection is completed. You should use
this jquery plugin.
php, :
<html>
<head>
<script src="jquery-1.4.4.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.stream-1.2.js"></script>
<script>
var println = function(string){
$("#console").append(string+"<br />");
}
$(document).ready(function(){
$.stream("stream.php",{
open:function(){
println("opened");
},
message:function(event){
println(event.data);
},
error:function(){
println("error");
},
close:function(){
println("closed");
}
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="console"></div>
</body>
</html>
:
stream.php
<?php
header('Content-Encoding', 'chunked');
header('Transfer-Encoding', 'chunked');
header('Content-Type', 'text/html');
header('Connection', 'keep-alive');
ob_flush();
flush();
echo("23123454645645646;");
$p = "";
for ($i=0; $i < 1024; $i++) {
$p .= " ";
};
echo($p.";");
for ($i = 0; $i < 10000; $i++) {
echo('6;string;');
ob_flush();
flush();
sleep(2);
}
?>
