Chuck Thanks for your input, that's an option that has of course occurred to me, but sadly I'm not in a position to use a different webserver, and although I would agree that MOD_JK is HTTP spec-compliant I would have to say that it's not NSAPI spec-compliant, and it's an NSAPI version of the plugin after all, so I would export it to conform to the NSAPI spec.
In it's current state it's broken, the way I see it there are 3 scenarios: 1. It's fixed by developers of MOD_JK. 2. Oracle decide to do an about-face and change there NSAPI spec. 3. I have to maintain my own fixed copy, other iPlanet users may experience same issue and go through the pain I did tracking this down. Any help appreciated as always :) Jon On Thu, Jan 27, 2011 at 3:11 PM, Caldarale, Charles R < chuck.caldar...@unisys.com> wrote: > > From: Jon Forster [mailto:deltaw...@gmail.com] > > Subject: Mod_JK inserted header case sensitivity issue > > > the MODJK plugin inserts a Content-Length header using mixed-case ie: > > Content-Length: <length> (as defined in /native/common/jk_ajp_common.c), > > this is ignored by the webserver core as it's expecting inserted headers > > to be all lower-case > > Let me see if I've understood this properly: the iPlanet webserver is not > spec-compliant because it insists that HTTP headers be lower case, and you > want the mod_jk plugin to change its spec-compliant behavior to conform to > the obvious design flaw in iPlanet? > > How about an alternative solution: eliminate the intermediate web server, > or replace it with one that is spec-compliant (e.g, httpd). > > - Chuck > > > THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY > MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
