Apache/2.2.9 (Ubuntu) mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.0
Is there something special I need to do to allow keep-alive responses
for HTTP 1.0 requests?
If I setup a simple httpd.conf with a DocumentRoot and a simple
mod_perl handler I get keep-alive connections as I expect with HTTP
1.1, but with 1.0 I only get keep-alive connections with the static
content.
The issue is I have Perlbal in front of mod_perl and it always sends a
1.0 header to the back end so the mod_perl requests are not kept
alive.
Here's an example:
$ cat httpd.conf
<IfModule !mod_perl.c>
LoadModule perl_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_perl.so
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_mime.c>
LoadModule mime_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_mime.so
</IfModule>
ErrorLog httpd_test.log
PidFile httpd_test.pid
TypesConfig /etc/mime.types
ServerName localhost
Listen 127.0.0.1:10000
KeepAlive On
KeepAliveTimeout 20000
MaxKeepAliveRequests 0
DocumentRoot /var/www
<Perl>
package Foo;
use Apache2::RequestIO ();
use Apache2::RequestRec ();
sub handler {
my $r = shift;
$r->print( 'This is content' );
$r->status( 200 );
$r->content_type( 'text/plain' );
$r->rflush;
return Apache2::Const::OK;
}
</Perl>
<Location /foo>
SetHandler modperl
PerlResponseHandler Foo
</Location>
Start the server:
$ /usr/sbin/apache2 -d $HOME -f httpd.conf -k start
