I tested with apache2 and it works fine. Below is the log:

Hi
I'm not in a position to test at the moment, but can you confirm this will work if the root of pgAdmin is at (for example) /pgadmin? So the actual root is /pgadmin/misc/ping ?
Attached is the patch for fixing RM3371 where /misc/ping service generate session file for each call and so cannot be used frequently.
The patch is to skip session file generation and session caching for the URLs provided in SESSION_SKIP_PATH list config parameter. pg4a_session_cookie value will still be generated but nothing will be stored at the backend.
Also, I have separated the garbage collection code in current ping service to a new url /misc/cleanup. /misc/ping will be purely for is alive check.
Request you to kindly review.
