Hi, During the week I hit the situation described in 41743. A child process is connected to a client using a keepalive connection. A graceful restart (SIGUSR1) is issued. If the MaxKeepAliveRequests is high and the client is chatty the child process will not exit until the client disconnects. This means that my module in the child process still has the old configuration and old data file loaded in memory. I expected that the child process would close the keepalive connection - preferably by issuing a "connection: close" header in the next response. This problem occurs on RHEL5 with Redhat's Apache 2.2.3 and httpd.apache.org's Apache 2.2.17 Is this behaviour deliberate or is it a bug? -Andrew --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
