I have been able to enable mod_deflate on the outbound (server response) portions of my request chain. However, what I want to do is enable mod_deflate on incoming requests which actually inflates (unpacks) gzipped data. I believe there
may be a bug in the server logic when you mix mod_deflate + mod_proxy, but am not quite sure what the chain of events SHOULD look like.
This works: <VirtualHost _default_:5555> ServerName test.com:5555 ErrorLog logs/test.com-error.log CustomLog logs/test.com-access.log common SSLEngine on SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:+HIGH:-MEDIUM:-LOW:-SSLv2:-EXP SSLCertificateFile /var/www/keys/test.com.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /var/www/keys/test.com.key SSLCertificateChainFile /var/www/keys/RapidSSL_CA_bundle.pem # SetInputFilter DEFLATE SetOutputFilter DEFLATE SSLProxyEngine On ProxyRequests Off ProxyPreserveHost On <Proxy *> Order deny,allow Allow from all </Proxy> ProxyPass / https://test.com:5443/ ProxyPassReverse / https://test.com:5443/ </VirtualHost> However, uncommenting out the “SetInputFilter DEFLATE” line, followed by modifying my client to submit gzip posts as gzipped data (including setting Content-Encoding to gzip) result in this error message: [Tue Oct 23 15:36:38 2012] [error] (20014)Internal error: proxy: prefetch request body failed to 192.168.1.2:5443 (test.com) from 135.xxx.xxx.xxx () Why all of a sudden is the proxy trying to perform a prefetch of the request? What needs to change about my request/HTTP headers/format to prevent this? I’ve tried not setting Content-Length, setting Content-Length to the original unpacked
bytes length, setting Content-Length to the gzipped byte length. I’ve also scoured the internet and found complaints such as
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44592 which is resolved by “SetEnv proxy-sendcl 1”. I’ve tried that to no avail. Any help/ideas? Thanks, Zach Calvert ------------------------- Zach Calvert Senior Developer (817) 614-8938 |
