[users@httpd] Apache 2.0.59 Reverse Proxy - Set Content Length ( for HTTPS POSTS) to prevent proxy erros

[ABAPGUY]

Hi all ,

running our Apache 2.0 Reverse Proxy over https we noticed that HTTP 1.1 connections to the backend server are causing Proxy errors for POSTs only (all GETs are fine) .

We want to set Content-Length or Content-Chunking for POSTs as this is a known problem for web servers

(especially with KeepAlives ) .

 

In the Apache 2.2 documentation

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/env.html

 it talks about proxy-sendchunked, proxy-sendcl (these are defined in mod_proxy_http.c in 2.0)

 

I set (1 at a time) with

SetEnv proxy-sendchunked

or

SetEnv proxy-sendcl

 

in the httpd.conf .

Is that all it takes ? Do they work with 2.0 ?

 

Regards

Daniel
