Subject: [users@httpd] mod_proxy / ProxyPass: 400 Bad Request?
Folks;
trying to track down a strange error, I am ending up here. Situation: We run a
web application built on top of Java and Jetty exposed through an
apache2 + mod_proxy reverse proxy.
Generally, this works fine. However, some of our users experience troubles
doing file uploads this way. In those situations, in example while using an
upload Java applet such as JUpload, there are three things to be seen:
- the upload component on the Java server complains about an EOF / empty
request and guesses the client stopped sending data,
- the user client stops upload after throwing a SocketException - "connection
reset by peer",
- on the mod_proxy machine, I see the request in the log files obviously
returning a 400 Bad Request:
xx.x.xx.xx - - [26/Nov/2014:09:24:51 +0100] "POST /webprojekt/tasks/upload
HTTP/1.1" 400 4533 ....
... but why? So far I have been playing with configuration options on both
sides (apache2 ProxyPass parameters, configuration options in the Jetty running
the backend applications) but didn't really manage to get these things
resolved. So, two questions:
- Is there any way to make apache2 / mod_proxy provide more logging output in
these situations? I'd not just like to know that it actually does return a 400,
I'd also like to know _why_ it does so. This would be of great help but I fail
to see how to set a log level to debug just for mod_proxy.
- In case someone has experience with mod_proxy: What could probably cause a
400 in such a setup? Temporary connection issues? Resource limitations in the
backend? Client stuff?
TIA and all the best,
Kristian
