I have a serious issue. It seems that if something happens during a
proxy request after mod_http_proxy starts reading from the backend
server, no error is reported. (IE, see what happens when ap_pass_brigade
returns non success). The problem is that this "partial page" may be
cached because r->status is a cacheable code, but the response is
actually "broken." The result is that the broken version may be cached
and served again and again.
Should we break RFC (maybe) and change r->status to 503 (for example) so
cache can check letter.
Note: this is using our internal mod_cache, but looks like the issue
would be the same in stock mod_cache.
