I'm not aware of web servers, at least apache, killing cgi processes when
the user stops a page load. If this is happening ikiwiki should be able to
avoid it by blocking whatever signal is causing it to terminate. --[[Joey]]

+Just as an experiment, I tried running ikiwiki using a *remote* repository,
+i.e. via "svn+ssh". After setting up the repo and relocating the working copy,
+unfortunately, it doesn't work; editing a page gives the error:
+
+Error: no element found at line 3, column 0, byte 28 at /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.1/darwin-multi-2level/XML/Parser.pm line 187
+
+I *think* this is because, despite a SetEnv directive in the apache configuration,
+the CGI wrapper is expunging SVN_SSH from the environment (based on perusing
+the source of Wrapper.pm and looking at "envsave" there at the top).
+Is this the case? --Glenn
