Re^2: http 1.0 keep-alive and mod

the overarching factor is that a CGI program automatically sends some headers (clues) to the web server

This does not make any sense at all to me - could you please elaborate?

try setting a multi-part header at the start in your perl script

Could you please explain why this would play a role?

Maybe this will help: Content-Length Header.	[reply]

Thanks a lot! This is indeed the difference - for static content apache sets the content-length whereas when using mod_perl you have to set it yourself. When setting a content-length header even http 1.0 clients can reuse the connection.	[reply]
