Hello: We're using Apache/2.2.15 running on Centos 6 >From time to time, we see the next error log : The timeout specified has expired: proxy: prefetch request body failed to [::1]:8081 (localhost) from xx.xx.xx.xx() Looking at mod_proxy_http.c source code , we can see that error is thrown because ap_get_brigade function doesn't return APR_SUCCESS code This is the code status = ap_get_brigade(r->input_filters, temp_brigade, AP_MODE_READBYTES, APR_BLOCK_READ, MAX_MEM_SPOOL - bytes_read); if (status != APR_SUCCESS) { ap_log_error(APLOG_MARK, APLOG_ERR, status, r->server, "proxy: prefetch request body failed to %pI (%s)" " from %s (%s)", p_conn->addr, p_conn->hostname ? p_conn->hostname: "", c->remote_ip, c->remote_host ? c->remote_host: ""); } We don't understand Apache httpd code, but we think that ap_get_brigade function executes filters We guess that some filter is executed and a timeout is thrown . But we can't know : 1) what filter is failing ? The error occurs randomly and we aren't handling file uploads 2) we increased level debugging up to debug mode and we cannot see anything about what filter is throwing a timeout , what should we do to get this information ?
