Hi,

I have an apache 2.2.16 with mod_perl 2.0.4 all built from source running on Ubuntu 10.04.

KeepAlive is On in the apache-config.

When using a http 1.1 client everything works as expected (connections are reused), but when using an http 1.0 client that sets a "Connection: Keep-Alive" header (e.g. wget) I've noticed something strange:

For static content connections are reused, but for all requests that are handled by mod_perl the connection is closed by the server (i.e. mod_perl/apache) after the first http-request (I have traced the tcp-level with wireshark).

Why is that?

Is there a way to configure mod_perl so that a keep-alive header is honored when using http 1.0?

Many thanks!
