PHP-FPM fastcgi_finish_request() not working as expected

Question

I read @Dmitri 's original example of how to use fastcgi_finish_request() question and tried to follow the example in the answer in my Kohana 3.1 setup in index.php:

echo Request::factory()
    ->execute()
    ->send_headers()
    ->body();

Right after that, I added:

fastcgi_finish_request();
sleep(5);

Initially, I thought it worked. But then I realised in only worked for every other request. Example:

Navigate to localhost (works, no pause)
Click link to localhost/controller (pause 5 seconds)
Click another link to localhost/controller (works again, no pause)

And it continues on like that. Am I missing something? Like maybe a setting in php5-fpm config file?

Running PHP 5.3.5-1ubuntu7.2 with Suhosin-Patch, Nginx

Sorry guys, I asked this almost exactly a year ago. I can't find the relevant code anymore but will update update this question as soon as I have time to get back to it. Thanks for your replies! — Jason J. Nathan, Nov 10 '12 at 07:54

Call session_write_close() before you call fastcgi_finish_request() to resolve this issue:

session_write_close();
fastcgi_finish_request();
sleep(5);

Next to the server-response itself (which you can control with the fastcgi_finish_request function and rest assured it works that way), there can be other resources that is blocking the (next) script from starting right ahead.

This can be file-lockings (popular for session) and other stuff. As you have not shared much code and we do not see your Kohana configuration you should take a look which components you use and which resources they acquire.

Is it because your web server only handles one php instance at a time and it is still exciting the previous script?
