Description of problem: Current 2.2.x releases use a "GET /" request to wake up children during a graceful restart; this may cause unnecessary load by causing dynamic page generation, or by activating a reverse proxy request to a backend. This has been switched to using "OPTIONS *" upstream for such requests, and providing a streamlined "OPTIONS *" implementation which doesn't hit mainline request processing. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.2.3-11.el5 How reproducible: always 1. service httpd graceful 2. see lots of "GET /" in mod_status output
