clients with IE7 take 3megs+ (on the server) per page load. while Firefox/Opera take a few K on each page load. with only a few loads the server's memory is full, httpd services crashes and a new httpd is created but old service takes memory until I click "close" on the crash report. It occured with apache 2.2.0 and I upgraded to 2.2.3 same issue I use SSL, same problem without it. latest versions on all browsers too. machine: winxpPRO sp2 1G ram. with apache i also run: MySQL version 5.0.18 Openssl version 0.9.8a PHP version 5.1.2 thank you, venturello

As httpd as such is browser agnostic it smells a lot like a memory leak in your PHP script / PHP when processing requests from IE7. Does this problem also occur if you remove PHP from your configuration?
Thank you for your response. I created some plain HTML pages (Save As HTML of how the php app is displayed on firefox) and opened on IE7. Same issue. But, I want to take a look at the memory leak possibility. Do you know of any material/documentation regarding this matter? thank you very much!

Hm, really strange. Have you removed all the php stuff from your httpd configuration for this test? > But, I want to take a look at the memory leak possibility. Do you know of any > material/documentation regarding this matter? Not apart from the usual memory profiling suspects which might make this very hard. I am not a PHP expert. Have you checked their bugzilla / mailing lists for any PHP specific tools to find such leaks?
Pending more information about your configuration, etc. Presuming that this is the side effect of a loaded third party module, will close the report shortly if there's no additional information provided.
Please help us to refine our list of open and current defects; this is a mass update of old and inactive Bugzilla reports which reflect user error, already resolved defects, and still-existing defects in httpd. As repeatedly announced, the Apache HTTP Server Project has discontinued all development and patch review of the 2.2.x series of releases. The final release 2.2.34 was published in July 2017, and no further evaluation of bug reports or security risks will be considered or published for 2.2.x releases. All reports older than 2.4.x have been updated to status RESOLVED/LATER; no further action is expected unless the report still applies to a current version of httpd. If your report represented a question or confusion about how to use an httpd feature, an unexpected server behavior, problems building or installing httpd, or working with an external component (a third party module, browser etc.) we ask you to start by bringing your question to the User Support and Discussion mailing list, see [https://httpd.apache.org/lists.html#http-users] for details. Include a link to this Bugzilla report for completeness with your question. If your report was clearly a defect in httpd or a feature request, we ask that you retest using a modern httpd release (2.4.33 or later) released in the past year. If it can be reproduced, please reopen this bug and change the Version field above to the httpd version you have reconfirmed with. Your help in identifying defects or enhancements still applicable to the current httpd server software release is greatly appreciated.
