So, here is my take on this. I got mod_proxy to at least stop hanging and constantly hitting the origin server by adding the following two lines of code to mod_proxy.c:
origin->keep_alive = 0; apr_table_set( r->headers_in, "Connection", "Close );
What you have effectively done is turn keepalives off.
This is, of course, not the right thing to do, but I wanted to see if it would fix the problem, and it did. I can now correctly proxy, even if it is slow because of the lack of keep-alive. I believe what is happening is mod_proxy_http is deciding to keep the connection alive on the backend, which is correct, but it is failing to inform the browser that it has done so.
Keepalive is implied by the HTTP/1.1 protocol, there is no need for proxy to inform the browser.
It would help if you attach a debugger to the stuck process and see where it is getting stuck in the infinite loop.
