Trying again and making sure that I didn't send HTML
I think this may be more appropriately addressed on a "users" mailing list but I couldn't find one, so please forgive me:
I am running an apache http server (1.3.20) Windows 2000 (sp2 I believe). This server is serving content to the world from behind a NetCache server (a caching reverse proxy).
Here's my problem....
I'm trying to POST data to this server, however if the content-type is not multipart/form-data and the content-length is more than say... 25600, then Apache does not send the response until the NetCache server hits it's timeout and sends a TCP packet with the "final" bit set (closing the connection I assume). If I use multipart/formdata as is composed by a web browser (IE) then everything works. However, I need to be able to do text/xml and application/octet-stream from a java applet.
I did not see this problem when testing and connecting directly to the apache server.
Has anyone seen similar behavior or does this make any kind of sense? I think it may be a problem with the os (as it's been "hardened") but I would like to know what I'm talking about before I pursue this with MS tech support.
Many Thanks
