Hi folks -
I hope someone can help or at least help me understand what is going on. I work at Apple and we are using an HTTP based protocol in iTunes to implement song & database streaming over TCP/IP connections (http://www.apple.com/itunes/ see the "New Music Sharing feature " blurb).
Anyway our system presumes a persistent connection ala HTTP 1.1 but whenever a request is directed through mod_proxy in Apache 1.3.24* a "Connection: Close" header is added to the request, thus causing the server to shutdown the connection that is supposed to persist. When the client makes the next request, it realizes the connection has closed unexpectedly and assumes the server has been lost.
Can anyone explain what is going on? Why would mod_proxy think it is OK to add a "Connection: Close" header? Is there anything I can do on the client to make this NOT happen? I suppose a secondary solution would be to figure out a server configuration that would disable this - but I'd rather not go down that path if it can be helped. Any ideas?
