Guys, sorry if this is OT in developers list, but nobody on users@ seems to know the answer.
Basically is there a way to instruct apache to stop serving given request and log end of the connection? I tried killing httpd process serving the request but this way I lose log information which makes this method unusable. Bellow is the message to users@ -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Killing apache child processes and logging (how to stop serving request?) Date: Mon, 09 Oct 2006 00:24:31 +0300 From: Georgi Chorbadzhiyski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: users@httpd.apache.org Organization: Unix Solutions (http://unixsol.org) To: users@httpd.apache.org Hi guys, I have the following problem. I maintain a mirror site serving large ISO images. Everything is fine with Apache 2.2 but I have the following problem (tested with the same results in 1.3.37, 2.0.59 and 2.2.3): Sometimes I need to kill an apache child process serving large file before request is completed. I run "kill -SIGTERM HTTPD_PID", the child dies and transfer is stopped but nothing is written in access log. I've tried sending different signals to the child serving the request but I can't cause it to die and log the transfer at the same time. The child just dies without logging the transfer. Is there a way to stop apache child serving request but without loosing log information? Graceful doesn't work for me, because I want to stop the transfer and graceful is just advisory. Tested on Linux 2.6.17.7/Slamd64 and Linux 2.4.32/Slackware 11. -- Georgi Chorbadzhiyski http://georgi.unixsol.org/
