http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41796 Summary: Internal Dummy Connection should process effortlessly Product: Apache httpd-2 Version: 2.2.3 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: prefork AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] It's clear that the Internal Dummy Connection requests are needed and it is my understanding that these exist in 2.0 but however are not logged. My concern is not with them existing or logging, but with the request that is being made. The "GET /" request used causes dynamic pages to generate- in some cases with tens or hundreds of requests in a matter of a few seconds. A dynamic page I have shows these Internal dummy connections making tens of database queries to generate and returning 100-200KB of data to the dummy connection. This should be changed to either: a) request something else other than "GET /", such as using "OPTIONS *", or "GET /robots.txt" or "GET /apache_internal_dummy_file.txt" that would not be used or would not incur the massive processing of many of today's Web sites. -OR- (better yet) b) be handled specially by the request handler that in the case of a connection from the local IP with that user agent, it should avoid as much advanced processing as possible(rewrite rules, PHP scripts, Perl scripts, SSI, Directory restrictions, htaccess processing, etc), and simply return a very short "ACK" style request with only the necessary headers to be deemed valid. When the whole server approaches the request limit near the same time or receives certain commands that dispatch these, it is important that it is not making requests it shouldn't. Advertisers and users depend on these database requests to count pageviews and other measures that Apache suddenly adds hundreds of throughout a day... which can add up and show a difference in pageviews from what actually is occuring. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
