This is a re-post; I didn't get an answer so I guess I didn't phrase the original question very well.
We are getting a lot (about 2% of GET's) of response code 408. The config file has: RequestReadTimeout header=10 body=30 Originally I didn't spot this requirement and requests were timing out sometimes at several per second; now that the directive is present the timeouts are showing about 30 seconds so the directive is probably working. So, three questions: 1) since almost all of these 408's are METHOD=GET why is the request not present as soon as the initial connection arrives since the request is coded in the URL and not in a separate header? The total (URL + request) length is about 80 bytes or less. 2) what is the default value when the directive is not present and is it reasonable? ie, do I have some as yet undetected problem here? 3) how far should I extend the body= time before I create the problem that the directive was designed to resolve - denial of service attacks caused by missing requests. FYI, most of these requests work on the second try although a very small subset have to retry several times. I hope that is clearer and that someone has experience with this issue. Regards, and thanks in advance.
