Apache will spawn a process (at least with pfork) and the process will wait for a keep alive connection to send a new req.

Everything old is new again. Gotta tune it out.

Is this true? So Apache basically launches a Slowloris attack on itself for every connection?
With prefork there is one process per connection. Look at server-status. There was a threaded version as of 2.4 but I don’t think it worked well.
