There are some stability issues in mod_proxy for apache 2.0.28. It can segfault or display run-away cpu issues in the following cases: 1) backend server closes connection without sending any data 2) backend sends bogus status line 3) backend sends HTTP/0.9 response You might want to look and se

Correct. The overall goal here is to allow Apache 2.0 to handle the URL rewriting and redirection for all different types of requests. Currently we use Apache 1.3.14 for some items and the F5 load balancing box for others. The F5 has a hard limit of 100 rules in its latest version and we would

When the reverse proxy connects to the windows boxes it needs to maintain a persistent connection since the client is an appliance, not a browser. This works fine with 2.0 when 2.0 is not segfaulting :) Think I'll just get out of apache land and let the F5 handle it for now, we won't hit the

Correct, with 1.0 we lose persistency and things slow down significantly. I guess I should have just said 'Persistency' in the first place, sorry about that :) John- On Thursday, January 3, 2002, at 01:44 PM, Igor Sysoev wrote: > On Thu, 3 Jan 2002, John Armstrong wrote: > >> Because the fron

Because the front end reverse proxy needs to connect to one of 3 different servers. 1) Static html server. 2) Mod Perl dynamic content server 3) Windows based xml servers that need to use 1.1 to communicate. So for 3 we need chunked or the Content-Length, either way, we need 1.1. compatibility

I was looking at oops but it doesn't seem to suit my needs which are : Reverse 1.1 compliant proxy with mod_rewrite style capabilities. Squid is my next chance but I was hoping to get apache working since I don't want to run _3_ servers ( squid, static apache and modperl apache ). John- On T
