http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21348 windowsupdate-site over proxy failed ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-07-26 22:02 ------- Same problem here using various Windows versions (XP, 2000, 98 SE) behind a Windows 2000 machine running Apache 2.0.46 (Win32). A patch was posted on the dev mailing list back on March 24, 2003. The patch fixes this issue which occurs because: "Apache2 proxy seems to drop Content-Length header from replies to HEAD requests. This is very bad for Microsoft's Windows Update system (and against HTTP spec). The problem is caused by CONTENT_LENGTH output filter setting Content-Length header to zero because there is no body data. Later on Apache removes Content-Length header if it has value 0. The attached patch fixes the problem in CONTENT_LENGTH output filter by preventing it from modifying the content length of a reply to HEAD request. The attached patch is against HEAD of APACHE_2_0_BRANCH as of this morning." URL: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg16088.html> Patch: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg16088/windows-update.diff> I would apply the patch myself but I do not have the compiler required for the Win32 build of Apache. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
