A CGI got 2,000 error message

Hi, All:

I wrote a perl-CGI program to receive file upload from visitor. Every
thing is fine, except that when user cancel the upload process by press
ESC in IE, my Apache server will generate 2,000 lines of error message
in error.log.

Is this normal? I know this won't hurt my server, anyway. But I don't
like to see this message.

(Exactly 2,000 messages. Not 1,999, and not 2,001).


Ben.

You could always run a sed/awk/grep (take your pick) script at regular
intervals that strips out 1999 of the 2000 lines to minimise the size of
your logs. The other option is to figure out why IE causes it then fix your
script. Can't help there - I don't "do" Perl-CGI
