cgi bg

[Eli Billauer]

Hi,

As far as I recall, the connection closes only when the cgi script's 
stdout closes, which is usually when the script terminates.

If you fork() the process or just go on doing stuff, a file handle 
attached to stdout remains open, which is probably why the HTTP 
connection remains open.

I suggest trying to close stdout when you're done with the HTTP response.

Regards,
    Eli
