I am talking about heavy work, something that will take about 5-10 minutes,
and so the user can cancel the job. What I want is this: does apache send
any signal to my cgi script in order to kill it ?

Problem: your script might have already sent its entire response and
exited before the user canceled.  There's really no way to be sure
whether the client received the complete file.
