Hi all,

I was asked to clarify the case with the ProxyIOBufferSize, where the documentation and the code don't agree.

According to mod_proxy.c, the effective size of the buffer is the greater of AP_IOBUFSIZE or the user specified value:

psf->io_buffer_size = ((s > AP_IOBUFSIZE) ? s : AP_IOBUFSIZE);

In other words, the effective buffer size is greater than or equal to 8192.

According to the docs at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxyiobuffersize, the default value is "ProxyIOBufferSize 8192", which so far is correct.

The docs then say "The size must be less or equal 65536".

There doesn't seem to be anything clearly visible in the code that enforces this "less than or equal to 65536", but there is code in there that enforces "greater than or equal to 8192".

So which is correct, the server or the docs?

Regards,
Graham
