When deflate is used to compress web pages cgi bins don't get aborted with a broken pipe. tested with Apache 2.0.52 on RHEL4. When the user refreshes a page that is taking a while to run such as a web based report outputting a pretty large page both the old and new request run at the same time. Turn off deflate and it aborts with a broken pipe like it is supposed to.
On systems with several hundred users this can overload the server.
any idea on how to correct this and still enable output compression?
