Hi all, Recently I had to set-up our external http proxy (apache 1.3.x) in such a way that it accepts rsync traffic coming from our lan. So I decided to add a 'CONNECT' in my httpd.conf. This is all working now but not so fine as I could expect it. Sometimes the communication is broken and I get this error message coming from rsync : ... rsync: connection unexpectedly closed ... [receiver] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(443) rsync: connection unexpectedly closed ... [generator] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(443) ... I give you below my current config. ----- ServerType standalone ServerName sbezoxaa Listen sbezoxaa:8081 User www Group www ServerRoot "/var/www" MinSpareServers 16 StartServers 16 MaxSpareServers 16 MaxClients 100 MaxRequestsPerChild 1000 LoadModule rewrite_module /usr/lib/apache/modules/mod_rewrite.so LoadModule security_module /usr/local/lib/mod_security.so LoadModule proxy_module /usr/lib/apache/modules/libproxy.so LoadModule mime_magic_module /usr/lib/apache/modules/mod_mime_magic.so KeepAlive On MaxKeepAliveRequests 100 KeepAliveTimeout 15 Timeout 300 IdentityCheck Off HostnameLookups Off UseCanonicalName On ServerSignature Off PidFile run/httpd.pid LockFile run/accept.lock ErrorLog "|/usr/local/sbin/cronolog /var/www/logs/%Y/%m/% d/error.log" LogLevel warn LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined CustomLog "|/usr/local/sbin/cronolog /var/www/logs/%Y/%m/% d/access.log" combined TypesConfig etc/apache/mime.types DefaultType text/plain <IfModule mod_mime_magic.c> MIMEMagicFile etc/apache/magic </IfModule> DocumentRoot /tmp RewriteLog /dev/null TransferLog /dev/null AccessConfig /dev/null ResourceConfig /dev/null <Directory /> Options -FollowSymLinks -SymLinksIfOwnerMatch AllowOverride None </Directory> ProxyRequests On ProxyVia On # Note to add these connection authorization for Rsync # 443 : https # 873 : rsync AllowCONNECT 443 873 <Directory proxy:*> Order deny,allow Allow from all </Directory> CacheRoot "/tmp" CacheSize 1048576 CacheGcInterval 1 CacheMaxExpire 24 CacheLastModifiedFactor 0.1 CacheDefaultExpire 1 ProxyReceiveBufferSize 2048 ProxyIOBufferSize 131072 ----- So if somebody gets any experience with this, I would appreciate some help to solve this problem.
