Thanks for the info and the analysis... I'll take a look
and tune as required.

Hi Chad,
yes, it looks like that's a bug in mod_proxy_ajp. You should log a
bug in bugzilla for httpd. I checked the code for Apache httpd
2.2.4 and also shortly for 2.2.x head and trunk.
The situation is as follows (you might include this in the bug
description):
Apache httpd decodes HTTP methods as method_number. HTTP HEAD and
GET get the same method_number. To make HEAD distinguishable form
GET, adiitionally header_only gets set for a HEAD request.
mod_proxy_ajp only decodes the method_number and doesn't check the
header_only flag. So every HEAD request gets forwarded as a GET
request.
In order to fix the forwarding, one has to improve
ajp_marshal_into_msgb() in ajp_header.c and also
ap_proxy_ajp_request(9 in mod_proxy_ajp.c. A patch against 2.2.4
could be close to the following (I didn't test, I didn't even
compile it):

I am using Apache 2.2.3 and Tomcat 5.0. I use ProxyPass to ajp to
send Servlet requests from Apache to Tomcat and for some reason all
HEAD requests are being sent to my servlets as GET requests. I
probably don't have something setup correctly but I don't know what
would affect the HEAD request.
My Apache configuration for ProxyPass is set like:
Alias /qfsearch /var/lib/qfsearch/docs Location /qfsearch Allow
from all /Location ProxyPass /qfsearch
ajp://localhost:9009/qfsearch
mod_proxy and mod_rewrite are setup as:
IfModule mod_proxy.c Proxy * Order deny,allow Deny from all /
Proxy ProxyRequests Off /IfModule
IfModule mod_rewrite.c RewriteEngine On RewriteLog
/var/log/apache2/rewrite_log RewriteLogLevel 1 /IfModule
In the apache access log the request is getting to apache as a HEAD
request: 137.65.79.137 - - [06/Aug/2007:14:33:45 -0600] HEAD
/qfsearch/ClusterServlet?

HTTP/1.1 503 - - Java/1.5.0
However, I have a servlet that overrides the service function and in
that call request.getMethod() and it is now returning GET not
HEAD.
If I call Tomcat directly then everything works fine
(request.getMethod() returns HEAD). This particular section of code
has been working for years with the JKMount command but now that we
have changed to the ProxyPass it is not working. If you have any
ideas what could be wrong I would appreciate the help!
Thanks you!! Chad
