one of our developers over here came up with a interesting question.


say we have a GET request which gets served from a CGI or proxy. and it
is streamed/chunked out (which is the desired effect)

now lets say I have a VERY SLOW connection. 

does this cause the server to hold onto the backend connection (ie..
keep the CGI/proxy alive)  while the server is waiting for a response
back from the client.

this >could< be a DOS type attack.
