A thread just handle a > request? A client (web browser) makes a connection to the server, thus using up one Prefork_MPM child process or one Worker_MPM worker thread. The client then issues a GET/POST/HEAD request and waits for the response. The client may be permitted to make more than one GET/POST/HEAD request without disconnecting, if KeepAlive is turned on, otherwise the connection is closed, releasing the server resources to be reused for another client (assuming the child process/thread isn't reaped at that time).
