Dear all, I am a newbie to this mailing list so please apologize me if this is not the right place to post the following issue. I am trying to use the Apache Web Server 2.4.7 - httpd from now on - as a forward proxy for SSL tunneling to be placed between another proxy and a remote host in my network. While doing some troubleshooting I realized that every time the httpd receives a CONNECT request, if the connection to the remote host (i.e. the opening of the TCP session) goes fine, it responds back by using the HTTP/1.0 protocol even though the request was issued in HTTP/1.1 (i.e. something starting with CONNECT <remote-host>:<remote_port> HTTP/1.1). I digged into the source code of the project, in particular the file modules/proxy/mod_proxy_connect.c. At line 380 the heading line of the response to a CONNECT is statically set to "HTTP/1.0 200 Connection Established", even though the request was in HTTP/1.1.
I wonder if this behaviour is desired or not, considering that with HTTP/1.0 the TCP session is immediately closed. Please consider that in my scenario the "client" of httpd is another proxy used by a client speaking HTTPS. When httpd closes the TCP session then the first proxy itself tears down its session with the original client, and then another SSL handshake is needed to re-open it for further requests. Thanks for your help and regards, Luca
