Hi, I'm adding information to my own message... Hope someone will hear me! I spent the day trying to test how the status page worked. I even had my first look at the source code. Apparently, modules that pre-process requests could make the request being seen as "..reading.." I think this might be a "bug" with mod_rewrite, or between it and another one. The thing is, it's not just a matter of look on the status page: the whole story is, I'm trying to have a MaxClient per virtualhost. This is supposed to work with some modules such as mod_bw (http://bwmod.sourceforge.net/) or mod_cband (http://cband.linux.pl/). I really believe they're serious modules, the later even has an example of config with mod_rewrite. But they both don't work for me, probably for the same reason that I see "?" as virtual host on the status page. That's why I think if I can manage to fix this, the modules will work (and I won't be fired ;-) Thanks in advance, Olivier Olivier CHIROUZE I&0 Infrastructure Volvo Information Technology > -----Original Message----- > From: Chirouze Olivier > Sent: 06 February 2007 10:26 > To: 'users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' > Subject: Status page: reading state > > Hi, > > This will seem like an obsession for me, but I have more > questions about the status page. > I'm running Apache 2.0.58 on Solaris 5.9, as a reverse proxy. > [ This last point is probably key ] > I thought the "..reading.." state meant "I'm reading client > request http headers". > It seems it's not, or at least not when working as a proxy. > > I've built up a simple configuration: > Client => Apache Reverse Proxy => Web Server with a page that > waits 10 min > > As expected, when accessing the web server through the > reverse proxy, a connection is held for 10 min. > What I find really surprising is that the connection stays in > the "..reading.." state for 10 min!!!
