Subject: Re: mod_cgi/2127: Impossible to detect browser disconnect from CGI

I suppose this should be added to:
http://www.apache.org/docs/misc/known_bugs.html
At least in 1.2 you could use a nph script and get a direct connection to
the browser. In 1.3, I believe an nph script doesn't give you direct
connection anymore (for me it behaves just like a non-nph).
So in 1.2 it was possible to write a CGI which could detect a browser
disconnect (using nph). In 1.3 it is now impossible.
Correct?
You say it's non-trivial to fix. There is a patch available (for 1.2.4) on
the cgiAbort page at:
http://wwwtest.gdb.org/browser/abort/cgiAbort.html
Is there a problem with this fix?
Thanks,
Ray
