I recently upgraded my server to
Apache/2.2.13 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.13 OpenSSL/0.9.8i
mod_apreq2-20090110/2.7.1 mod_perl/2.0.5-dev Perl/v5.10.1
in which everything mentioned is new except OpenSSL.
It has been running fine, but there are a few messages in error_log,
of a type not seen before:
[Fri Sep 04 23:15:52 2009] [error] [client 68.13.227.175] Handler

In each pair of lines, the 1st is from error_log while the 2nd is
from access_log (abbreviated).
All of the errors occurred on requests for jpg thumbnails that are
cached by conf statements like these:
CacheFile /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/1n/aardvark.jpg
CacheFile /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/1n/anteater.jpg
The error handling is stock Apache; the httpd.conf file was carried
over from earlier versions of 2.2, and includes:
Alias /error/ "/usr/local/apache2/error/"
<Directory "/usr/local/apache2/error">
AllowOverride None
Options IncludesNoExec
AddOutputFilter Includes html
AddHandler type-map var
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
LanguagePriority en cs de es fr it ja ko nl pl pt-br ro sv tr
ForceLanguagePriority Prefer Fallback
</Directory>
ErrorDocument 400 /error/HTTP_BAD_REQUEST.html.var
ErrorDocument 401 /error/HTTP_UNAUTHORIZED.html.var
...
The only mod_perl2 handler that is invoked for a .jpg file is a fixup
handler, and it for sure :) only returns OK.
Are such errors familiar to anyone? Is there anything I can do to
eliminate them?
Thanks,
cmac
