Re: Server status - meaning of Reading Request state (Apache Users)

Testing by telnet is a good hint, thanks!

But I'm not sure how to send half a request...

I see now what SS is for, thanks.

But if we take that column SS out of the picture and let's say I'm reloading server-status periodically and see that

- a request comes in, status is Reading

- refreshing server-status in every secs and see the very same request in the same Reading state

- I can see this pending Reading status for 2-3 minutes

Then what does this mean?

As you wrote

> The status goes from READ to WRITE "shortly after" the headers have been completely read by Apache.

for me this sounds like Apache is trying to read req. headers during that time.

I would assume this is not a problem in Apache, but probably due to client or network issues "only" and also has nothing to do with the slowly dying Weblogic behind.

What do you think?

I don't think so, I think it means 1 minute ago a response completed
on that slot. You can quickly test by telnet'ing to httpd and issuing
half a request and reloading server-status periodically. The SS will
be larger than expected because ti's not from the beginning of the
current request being read.
