Hi there experts,
I have a module written by me, which (less or more) serves content.
Everything went well until we ran some JMeter tests, which has
discovered that keep-alive requests, to our module, are returning
zero-sized OK pages (I mean code 200, with content-length:0). Ethereal
discovered that it actually served the content, _but_ after that apache
sends out another headers. Which is certainly ok, because it thinks that
there was no content sent.
What I need, is a way how can I tell apache, to stop processing the
particular request.
But my guess is, that it actually sends headers right after it knows the
length of content and stuff.
some points:
- I can create headers (they are pretty static, except the
content-length) (actually, as you could figure out, I *am* creating
headers through the process of serving the content)
- I know the length of content prior to sending it to the socket
- I can't use buckets, brigades or any kind of buffers. The reason
is, that the content is being sent directly to socket by an external
library linked with my module.
Are you aware of any process how this could be done ?
I still could close the socket, which I am writing to...but this is
awkward one, don't you think ? And it's not a solution, since we are
trying to keep the connection up to serve multiple requests :)
Thanks a lot, I'm looking forward to your suggestions/questions
