Subject: Re: mod_cgi/2127: Impossible to detect browser disconnect from CGI

 I suppose this should be added to:
 
        http://www.apache.org/docs/misc/known_bugs.html
 
 At least in 1.2 you could use a nph script and get a direct connection to
 the browser. In 1.3, I believe an nph script doesn't give you direct
 connection anymore (for me it behaves just like a non-nph).
 
 So in 1.2 it was possible to write a CGI which could detect a browser
 disconnect (using nph). In 1.3 it is now impossible.
 
 Correct?
 
 You say it's non-trivial to fix. There is a patch available (for 1.2.4) on
 the cgiAbort page at:
 
        http://wwwtest.gdb.org/browser/abort/cgiAbort.html
 
 Is there a problem with this fix?
 
 Thanks,
 
        Ray
