[users@httpd] Is it possible to keep a module running after closing a connection?
I'm looking at a situation where we'd want to close a connection (for
example the message size is too large) but we'd like to keep the thread
active so that we can perform some other steps before releasing the
thread. Is this possible? I've been looking through the apache header
files and nothing stands out to me as a method that would immediately
close the connection without releasing the thread.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris

You can do your followup processing in the logger hook, but you'll
have to stash away any data you need between hooks.

In the process model, you just fork() twice and continue your work in
the grandchild process. Not sure with the threaded model, but
probably you could just create another thread to do your work, and set
it up to not require joining.
