That sounds like a description of HTTP/1.0. I haven't looked at the relevant code, but I suspect it is true of all Apache 1.x, because it lacks the filter architecture that makes it easy to support HTTP chunked encoding. > Does this KeepAlive protocol still applies on > Apache-2.x? or say, KeepAlive cannot be applied to > CGI scripts on Apache-2.x?

Apache 2 supports chunked encoding, so keepalive follows all the recommendations of HTTP/1.1. If the browser asks for it (as is the default in HTTP/1.1), then apache will do it. -- Nick Kew Application Development with Apache - the Apache Modules Book http://www.apachetutor.org/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
