Apache caching 503 Response

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

 



This might be better for the developers list, but I am having an issue where apache 2.4.6 acting as a reverse proxy is caching 503 error messages which I don't understand at all. The proxy is a simple proxypass directive, the backend server is apache proxying to an oracle ucm instance. When I hit the proxy while both apaches are running but not the ucm instance, I get a 503 response (expected). Apache is appropriately serving stale content, but when that content expires (or I remove the cached content) then apache caches the 503 response and will serve it even after the server is back up. 

Here is the relevant part of the log
