Jered Floyd commented on TS-4468:
---------------------------------
This is discussing when ATS is acting as a server? I haven't addressed this in
my patch. Apache Server responds with a "400 Bad Request". RFC 6066 doesn't
seem to offer guidance for the server actions. The current ATS behavior is
probably acceptable.

> proxy.config.http.server_session_sharing.match has a default value of "both",
> which compares IP address, port, and FQDN when determining whether a
> connection can be reused for further user agent requests.
> The "host" (FQDN) matching does not behave safely when ATS is operating as a
> reverse proxy. The compared value is the origin server FQDN after mapping,
> rather than the initial "Host" target.
> If multiple Hosts map to the same origin server and the scheme is HTTPS, ATS
> will attempt to reuse a connection that may have an SNI Host that does not
> match the HTTP Host. With Apache 2.4 origin servers this results in 400 Bad
> Request to the user agent.
> PROBLEM REPRODUCTION:
> You can observe this behavior with two mapping rules such as:
> map https://example.com/ https://origin.example.com/
> map https://www.example.com/ https://origin.example.com/
> Non-caching clients alternately fetching URIs from the two targets will see
> 400 Bad Request responses intermittently.
> WORKAROUND:
> proxy.config.http.server_session_sharing.match should have a default value of
> "none" when proxy.config.reverse_proxy.enabled is "1"
> SUGGESTED FIXES:
> In order of completeness:
> 1) Do not share server sessions on reverse_proxy requests.
> 2) Do not share server sessions on reverse_proxy requests where scheme is
> HTTPS.
> 3) Compare target host (SNI host) rather than replacement host when
> determining if reuse of server session is allowed (when
> server_session_sharing.match is set to "host" or "both").
