Randall Leeds closed COUCHDB-1310.
----------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Impossible to send a response after the server has restarted... the socket has
been closed as part of the restart.
> '/_restart' closes request socket before sending a response

> Key: COUCHDB-1310
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1310
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HTTP Interface
> Affects Versions: 1.1
> Environment: All platforms. Tested on Ubuntu 10.10.
> Reporter: J. Lee Coltrane
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments:

> Original Estimate: 0h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> In 'couchdb_misc_handlers.erl', `handle_restart_req(...)` calls
> `couch_server_sup:restart_core_server()` before sending the HTTP response.
> This causes the current request's socket to be closed without sending any
> response back to the client. From the perspective of the HTTP client, the
> connection is simply dropped - no response is ever received.
> In addition to the obvious aesthetic problems here, the HTTP1.1 spec suggests
> a specific (and non-desirable) client-side behavior for connections that drop
> like this. From RFC-2616 Section-8.2.4: "...if the client sees the connection
> close before receiving any status from the server, the client SHOULD retry
> the request..." (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-8.2.4). Any HTTP
> client that actually obeys this direction, would end up restarting the server
> multiple times.
> I have a patch that fixes this issue. I will attach it to this report.
> This issue may be related to COUCHDB-946
