Yes. Earlier I mentioned that the threshold for problems is a message size of ~10MB compressed, I was mistaken, it's ~10MB uncompressed. > If so, looks like it uncompresses OK, so what happens next? I'm not sure. I have started apache with -X and attached gdb to it but I'm unable to determine much. The source code is not present in the production environment, I have tried without success to acquire the source code which corresponds to the installed binaries for httpd2, mod_fcgid, etc, is there a standard procedure with SUSE to do this? > Could it be violating some hard limit in fcgid or in your ipc, > or some configured limit? I have investigated such questions for several days, I haven't been able to establish anything definitive. We have that one site where everything always works. Here it succeeds intermittently. Even when the query size is increased to 100MB (before compression), it still succeeds at least sometimes from every site. Plus the failure returns in 5 seconds which is well within all of the configurable timeouts that I can see. These facts seem to rule out many of the likely explanations for limits and timeouts at whatever point in the chain. >> I forgot to mention, a failed iteration returns in about five seconds, >> a successful one in ten. > > So the overhead of using AN Other CGI implementation is going > to be negligible, if necessary. When I get desperate enough I will reconfigure the application as a standard CGI application, at least to see if that fixes the problem. > What are you doing with mod_headers there? Nothing explicit - whatever is happening with mod_headers is just a result of a mostly default implementation of Apache, FastCGI etc. > It shouldn't make > any difference, but if "RequestHeader unset Content-Length" > or any other Content-* header makes a difference, you might've > got a bug. I just quickly tried it with "RequestHeader unset Content-Length" which caused the application to fail altogether - what does that tell us?
