Of course I was emulating a very bad client :) Thank you all for the
helpful comments. KeepAlive behaves properly under mod_perl, which is too
bad for me, because I had it enabled all the time :( All my servers were
waiting for 15 secs (KeepAliveTimeout) after serving each request... awful
Going to document this in the guide...
Here is a summary of various requests for testing the keepalive
functionality under mod_perl (direct request! no proxy in the middle)
GET /perl/test.pl HTTP/1.0
Connection: keep-alive
==> doesn't work!
GET / HTTP/1.0
Connection: keep-alive
==> doesn't work!
HEAD / HTTP/1.0
Connection: keep-alive
==> works!
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost
==> works!
GET /perl/test.pl HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost
==> works!
I use Apache/1.3.10-dev (Unix) mod_perl/1.21_01-dev
For those who don't know how one can emulate the agent, you simply telnet
to the port the server listens to and talk directly to it:
% telnet localhost 8080
