[users@httpd] Kill CGI script after client breaks connection
To prevent my webserver from getting bogged down by
long-running CGI scripts, which are no longer
connected to the client's browser, I am trying to kill
the CGI as soon as the connection with the browser
breaks.
In the older version of Apache (1.3 for example) a CGI
script could do this by adding a signal handler for
SIGPIPE.
Is there an equivalent mechanism of terminating a CGI
script after a client connection breaks in Apache2 ?
Thanks a lot!
-M.K.

Posted by "Gustavo A. Baratto" <gb...@superb.net>.
apache 2 has mod_cgid enabled by default on threadred platforms... a hack on
that would be a good way to achieve what we want.
Maybe this is a subject for the development mailing list.
I'm suprised more ppl don't need such feature.
thanks ;)

Sorry, I forgot to mention that this change was made
in apache 1.0.3, as mentioned in the CHANGES file. Was
this code removed out later?

Re: [users@httpd] Kill CGI script after client breaks connection
Posted by M K <ma...@yahoo.com>.
Hi Gustavo,
I hope someone can point me in a general direction,
of where to look....
I am using mod_cgi.
What we need here is a way to relay/signal back the
client-disconnect to the CGI either via a signal (like
in the fastCGI module) or add some function that the
CGI can call to monitor the status of the client
connection.
The CHANGES file in the httpd source tree says:
*) timeout() signal handler now checks for SIGPIPE
and reports lost connections in a more user friendly
way. [Rob Hartill]
But I could not find anything related in the source
code.
Thanks for the response though.. I hope someone can
advise on this.
