Hello, I have noticed a interesting thing. I am trying to close my connection to client but I am getting weird error.
$r->internal_redirect("file"); shutdown($r->connection->fileno, 1) || die "$!"; ...... ...... do_some_internal_processing() ..... ..... This code always die's with error "Bad file name". $r->connection->fileno is always '5' for this particular case. * CORE::shutdown, CORE::close, close, shutdown; all return same error. * ls -l /proc/$$/fd turns up the socket in the listing -- but it is owned by root - and I am not doing any setuid. s--------- 0 root root 0 Oct 7 05:03 5= * Most weird .. CORE::shutdown or CORE::close don't turn up if I truss the process, but I get the "Bad file name" error from my mod_perl application, and in the die I can see apache doing shutdown(5,1) and close(5). Why don't my CORE::close make it till the close() syscall ? Also if I do CORE::shutdown(5,1), I still get the same error !!! * I realised that mod_perl ties STDOUT to some package so untie *STDOUT, and tried but I get the same error. Could someone please suggest to me how I should close my connection to the client from within mod_perl ? I am using Apache/1.3.23 (Unix) mod_perl/1.26, on Solaris 2.6 I have been breaking my head on this for sometime now. Any suggestions are mossst welcome. regards srp
