    <p>I'm testing streaming by creating a basic node.js app code that basically streams a file to the response. Using code from <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/6928074/442580">here</a> and <a href="http://docs.nodejitsu.com/articles/advanced/streams/how-to-use-fs-create-read-stream" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>.</p> <p>But If I make a request from <code>http://127.0.0.1:8000/</code>, then open another browser and request another file, the second file will not start to download until the first one is finished. In my example I created a 1GB file. <code>dd if=/dev/zero of=file.dat bs=1G count=1</code></p> <p>But if I request three more files <em>while the first one is downloading</em>, the three files will start downloading simultaneously once the first file has finished.</p> <p><strong>How can I change the code so that it will respond to each request as it's made and not have to wait for the current download to finish?</strong></p> <pre class="lang-js prettyprint-override"><code>var http = require('http'); var fs = require('fs'); var i = 1; http.createServer(function(req, res) { console.log('starting #' + i++); // This line opens the file as a readable stream var readStream = fs.createReadStream('file.dat', { bufferSize: 64 * 1024 }); // This will wait until we know the readable stream is actually valid before piping readStream.on('open', function () { console.log('open'); // This just pipes the read stream to the response object (which goes to the client) readStream.pipe(res); }); // This catches any errors that happen while creating the readable stream (usually invalid names) readStream.on('error', function(err) { res.end(err); }); }).listen(8000); console.log('Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8000/'); </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
