NAME

Apache2::Connection::SkipDummy - Skip main server requests to wake up child httpds

SYNOPSIS

In your httpd.conf:

 PerlPostReadRequestHandler Apache2::Connection::SkipDummy

DESCRIPTION

End requests from the main httpd process to child processes which are only using for waking up processes listening for new connections.

You can see this in your access log with the identifying user agent "(internal dummy connection)". You can remove these entries with mod_setenvif directives also, but this is a mod_perl based solution for those who don't have httpd compiled with mod_setenvif.
