but that's not the problem : if enters 4 z3950, we shouldn't wait for 4 synchronous answers before sending him something. It would need 4-8 seconds. the daemon solution gives a "blank screen" to the user, saying "Koha is working", then answers are shown as soon as they arrive.
This would not require a daemon. Send a "koha is working" first of all and a redirect to the results page. The results page should not return anything (not even headers) until all results are in. Requests should still not be done synchronously if possible, to ensure that we can abort before the maximum runtime. -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know.
