It's not me having the problem, but I desire to understand it. AFAIK HTTP keep alives have nothing to do with it. If the socket is in CLOSE_WAIT, the TCP connection can't be reused, the server has sent its FIN and the client its FIN/ACK, but the server doesn't have yet sent its final ACK. I can imagine some possibilites why this happens (some might not be valid due to my lack of knowledge): - the server didn't clean up its socket, so it stays there until the process dies eventually - the server does this to keep its socket (that I don't know: can a socket be reused on any state?) btw: I might be going off topic here, but I think it applies to OpenBSDs httpd. I won't sent any further mail to this thread you tell me to shut up. --knitti
