Hi All, Iâm working with Apache2 and mod_python. I have a server process that must run a long and heavy data processing. If the client (the user) decides to stop the data processing, the server receives the signal and the connection enters in a CLOSE_WAIT status until the server process has finished. Since the resources utilization is high, I would like to manage the CLOSE_WAIT status and I would like to force the server process to end. Is there a method to allow the server process to see the connection status and, in particular, to see if the connection is in CLOSE_WAIT ? For example, considering the following code: from mod_python import util import apache, time, sys def handler(req): #infinite loop while True: time.sleep(2) #open log file f = open("/home/damiano/www/test_close_wait.log","a") f.write(str(req.connection.aborted)) f.write("\n") f.close() #exit if connection is in CLOSE_WAIT if req.connection.aborted: sys.exit(1) req.content_type = 'text/html' req.write("<p>END</p>") return apache.OK The infinite loop can be considered as my data processing. req.connection is the connection object associated with the request. req.connection.aborted is the element that i have tried to check but, when the connection changes from ESTABLISHED to CLOSE_WAIT, this variable does not change and remains to 0 (False). Does anyone know how to deal with the problem and can help me.
