Hi,Of course the back end server is working. It was working without a proxy, and I haven't changed anything on it. I've just put it to run on another port, and without a named virtual host, but an IP-based one on localhost:83.
I've made a telnet connection to it on port 83, and it is working fine. I can even see it using a browser on http://localhost:83/.
So it must be something bad with my proxy settings. I have read the mod_proxy details on Apache's site, but I think I still do something wrong, or something...
However, under Windows it doesn't work at all, and it shows that error that the header doesn't contain a ":".
Thanks. Octavian From: "Lucas Brasilino" <lucas.brasilino@xxxxxxxxx>
Hi,Hi Very strange. Looks like your backend server's response is not starting with a HTTP status line[1], like: HTTP/1.x 200 OK [1]http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html Even if proxy instance is making an bad request (due a bug or something, which I don't think so), the backend one should answer with: HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request For instance. Try telneting (or use netcat) to your backend server's HTTP port and make a simple request, like: GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: put.your.hostname.here Connection: close <enter> And investigate it's response. Regards Lucas BrasilinoDo you have any idea what these error lines in the error log means? (Apache 2.24 under Linux) in the error log of the reverse proxy (mod_proxy): [Mon Jan 22 14:11:26 2007] [error] [client 82.208.146.70] proxy: error reading status line from remote server localhost, referer: http://www.site.ro/prg and in the error log of the backend server (using mod_perl): [Mon Jan 22 17:35:22 2007] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] request failed: error reading the headers Under Apache 2.23 on Windows it appears an error message in the browser telling that the header doesn't contain a ":" character, and it shows the line: GET / HTTP/1.1 Do you have any idea how I could make mod_proxy to work without showing these errors? (Can you share a sample httpd.conf mod_proxy configuration that works?) Or maybe those errors are not important and they can be ignored? Thank you.

Can someone help me? Thx, Q.XieAs 2.2 mod_proxy is production stable, it's surely reliable. I'm testing and it's almost OK. The unique gotcha is that looks like it does not set a 'HTTP response timeout' from backend server. I'm looking around source code. regards Lucas Brasilino --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
