798d3a524ea57aaf40cb53858aaa45ec702f012dZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek <p>This application should be able to handle multiple concurrent
12b42c76672a66c2d4ea7212c14f8f1b5a62b78dTom Gundersen connections. <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code> enables connection reuse by
798d3a524ea57aaf40cb53858aaa45ec702f012dZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek default, so after a request has been completed the connection will be
798d3a524ea57aaf40cb53858aaa45ec702f012dZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek held open by that httpd child process and won't be reused until that
798d3a524ea57aaf40cb53858aaa45ec702f012dZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek httpd process routes another request to the application. If the

798d3a524ea57aaf40cb53858aaa45ec702f012dZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek from httpd, requests can block waiting for the application to close

798d3a524ea57aaf40cb53858aaa45ec702f012dZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek allows the normal mapping of URI to filename to occur in the server, and the
798d3a524ea57aaf40cb53858aaa45ec702f012dZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek local filesystem result is passed to the backend. When FastCGI is
798d3a524ea57aaf40cb53858aaa45ec702f012dZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek configured this way, the server can calculate the most accurate
