Hello, My name is Lihet Ruben, I'm new to this mailing list. I have a question about a CGI script I want to make. So, this is the scenario. The CGI script will serve content to users (like a file download) but I have to keep track of many other things. The most important thing is I want to know if the person has downloaded the file completely or canceled the download. So I thought that is the user cancels the script, the program dies, I cannot log what happened. So I came with the idea of creating a child for my cgi script, with fork() (btw I'm using c++) and keep track of the child's activity and make decisions based on childs return code. That would be ok at a first glance, but the problem is that the parent cgi script is killed by the apache server. Now comes the question: Q: How does apache kills cgi scripts ? Or, what happens with a cgi script when a user hits cancel in the browser while the script was still executing ? Does apache send a signal to the cgi-script telling it to die or what ? Thanks in advance, Lihet Ruben. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
