Not sure if replying to this mail will go anywayere, but I have more
information. I can reproduce the bug, and have a workaround.
The chain of functions is convoluted, but I can now easily reproduce the
problem.
First, you need a servlet that returns a "Last-Modified" header. The
idea here is to produce a 304 response code. Telnet to the web server on
the appropriate port, and type "GET /servlet/uri HTTP" (press enter
twice) where /servlet/uri is the URI of your servlet. Copy the date from
the Last-Modified line.
Now telnet again, and type:
GET /servlet/uri HTTP
If-Modified-Since: date
(press enter twice)
Here, "date" is the date you copied from the Last-Modified header on the
previous request. This should produce the error. (If the date you supply
here is less than the date returned previously, you get the correct
output from the servlet.)
Basically, the function ap_meets_conditions (in Apache 1.3.6 core code)
correctly decides that it should send a 304 response. This 304 gets
returned to ap_scan_script_header_err_core (in Apache 1.3.6 core code).
This gets returned to ajpv11_handler (in Jserv 1.0 code). Oddly,
ajpv11_handler barfs if it gets a non-zero response back.
The function ajpv11_handler is getting a 304 back, and so it is giving
this error message. This is weird. I suspect perhaps it shouldn't die if
it gets anything non-zero back. IMHO, 304 isn't an error condition.
As a workaround, if you stop your servlet sending a "Last-Modified"
header, the problem goes away.
