Re: [cgi-devel] Issue with request data and threads

[Ankur G. <ank...@gm...>]

Thanks for your response Darren.  When the EPIPE happens, the
request::commit throws an exception which I am catching.  I am creating a
new request which seems to work fine but closing the old request throws an
exception.  How does one confirm that the resources allocated for the older
request did get freed up?
