I believe I'm having a similar problem. Mod_perl is used to perform authentication and authorization on our servers. After our servers have been up for a couple of hours, areas of our site that require authentication begin to intermittently have this problem. All of the POSTed form data is missing.
We are running on Windows 2003 server, perl version 5.8.7, modperl 2.0.2 and apache 2.0.53 I'm willing to send/post code to someone if that will help...?

If the POST data is valid, the request is passed to mod_proxy which sends it to the backend server (filter returns Apache2::Const::OK) If the POST data is invalid, it returns Apache2::Const::FORBIDDEN. My PerlAccessHandler gets the POST by reading the bucket brigades directly. However, when the data is read, POST request body is no longer available to mod_proxy which basically forwards only the headers and the query to the backend server. Originially, my PerlAccessHandler added an input filter (via $r->add_input_filter) which went thru the POST data (using the streaming API). In that scenario, mod_proxy gets the entire POST request body if my input filter returned Apache2::Const::OK. However, when it returned Apache2::Const::FORBIDDEN (the POST data was invalid) mod_proxy gives me an error: Unknown error: 404: proxy: prefetch request body failed This didn't happend in Apache 2.0.54 but started in 2.0.55 which I'm currently using together with mod_perl 2.0.2 (static build). Any pointers on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, /haver
