QUAL Make API Explorer work under FrankenPHP
Applying this PR will make the API explorer work when running using FrankenPHP which is explored here Dolibarr/dolibarr-docker#98

Also tested in regular Apache setup for the develop branch and it also worked.

Hello John, it seems that Franckenphp is faster than other PHP servers. Have you done any tests in this area? What were the results?

Yes @defrance I currently doing some tests

Running in purely CGI mode, not worker mode of FrankenPHP, my test script states that I get about a 35% speedup with FrankenPHP.

All tests are done with HTTPS, though without any Certificate check.

Very interesting.
Since I have to teach a Docker course in early June, I'm going to ask my students to replace PHP with FrankenPHP in my Dolibarr development repository as a practical exercise, and to run a benchmark with random loading.

sorry @defrance I spoke too fast, the 12x14 speed gain is because FrankenPHP api calls doesn't save any data. after doing some data sanitfy checks, they were empty :-(

but 35% aka 1,35 is still good gain

Can you add parenthesis here so there is no doubt of which test is done first ?

and now I can't even reproduce that :-(

Yesterday I compared php8.2 on debian bookwork with frankenphp on php8.4 on debian trixie - that might also explain some speed difference.

Today I am looking at frankenphp on 8.2, but still on debian trixie :-(

I think there might be a small gain ~25% when running dolibarr under FrankenPHP in CGI mode, but it is perhaps better than throughput is that FrankenPHP works better under load.

But notice that I mostly checked API performance and not GUI performance.

Apache's P99 of 2.74s means 1 in 100 users waits nearly 3 seconds.
FrankenPHP's P99 of 0.56s means 1 in 100 users waits half a second.
In production, FrankenPHP is the safer bet. A 2.7s freeze is a user complaint; a 0.5s delay is often unnoticed.
