What does it do? Using connection_status() in a script that doesn't ignore user aborts is pretty useless. The script will abort on the print and never get to the connection_status() line so your code doesn't actually make any sense. And, beyond that, all bets are off for Apache-2.0.x. No real extensive testing has been done on that platform which is why we don't suggest running it in production because stuff like this is likely to be broken even if you got your code right. -Rasmus
