Enable mod_deflate on Incoming Request + mod_prox = Proxy Failure

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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,
