So that was bad way to simulate "apachectl stop" just because of the above. I think with 2.2 it even is not true, because apache2 has own way to configure shutdown timeouts, the GracefulShutdownTimeout directive. While talking about killed server and knowing that the file was transferred - It's often impossible to know. The chunked encoding or the Content-Length header are needed to know if the whole file was transfered. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uh...@fantomas.sk ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
