Hello, I have a mod_perl application which does a internal_redirect() and registers a cleanup handler before returning. I am noticing that the cleanup handler executes and i see the following in my log ..
[Tue Oct 15 03:27:32 2002] [info] [client XYZ ] (9)Bad file number: client stopped connection before rvputs completed * Why is apache trying to write to client during the cleanup phase ? Further ... Since the call is to ap_rvputs(), I assumed it is not a mod_perl issue. I confirmed that the handler was 'default-handler' by asking ap_invoke_handler() to log each invocation. But when I forced the handler to be 'perl-script' by using internal_redirect_handler(). This time I get [Tue Oct 15 00:59:29 2002] [info] [client XYZ] (9)Bad file number: client stopped connection before rwrite completed I hacked ap_rvputs() & ap_rwrite() to not return on a write() failure but to log the attempt. It seems that both want to write HTTP headers to client. ( I confirmed that it is for the same request 'r->the_request') Why is apache re-doing the request after a internal_redirect() ? ( and that too in the cleanup phase ??) Please help me understand this. Any hints most appreciated :-) regards srp ps :: please reply to me directly as i am not on the list
