A search of the archive revealed things like: ... Sep 1998: "It may be worth noting that I've so far only seen this behavior on SSL connections" ... Oct 1998: "It means the client connection was broken. No cause for alarm. With Apache 1.3.x you won't see that message unless LogLevel is set to debug." ... May 1999: "This bug has been fixed in the CVS tree" The http://perl.apache.org/guide mentions it as well.. Indeed I've got Loglevel's of debug/info .. but, should this still be appearing? Would it be of any interest that this request may* have been mod_rewrite'd (like the guide example but SSL)? I'll just turn down the logging and tell my users to quit aborting connections ;-) -Jay J (( First message )) [Mon Oct 4 02:22:36 1999] [info] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] (32)Broken pipe: client stopped connection before rwrite completed (( 28 times )) [Mon Oct 4 02:22:36 1999] [debug] Apache.xs(355): (32)Broken pipe: mod_perl: rwrite returned -1 (fd=4, B_EOUT=8) (( 4830 times )) [Mon Oct 4 02:22:36 1999] [debug] Apache.xs(355): mod_perl: rwrite returned -1 (fd=4, B_EOUT=8) ...
