MOD_PROXY a strange problem!!!

Hi,

 

I have a TCP client-server application written in Java using the standard socket APIs.

 

Now, I want to introduce Apache as the proxy server between them. And hence I am using the mod_proxy module.

 

The communication among client, apache and server is properly being established but facing a strange problem.

 

Here the client wants to send many requests, so I am writing the code as:

 

CLIENT:

 

/** 1st Request [START] **/

contentLength = 6.

out.writeBytes("A");

out.writeBytes("B");

out.writeBytes("C");

out.flush();

/** 1st Request [END] **/

 

/** 2nd Request [START] **/

contentLength = 6.

out.writeBytes("P");

out.writeBytes("Q");

out.writeBytes("R");

out.flush();

/** 2nd Request [END] **/

 

/** 3rd Request [START] **/

contentLength = 6.

out.writeBytes("X");

out.writeBytes("Y");

out.writeBytes("Z");

out.flush();

/** 3rd Request [END] **/

 

out.close();

 

 

The request properly goes to Apache without any exception on client side.

But the server receives very data only for 2 requests:

 

SERVER:

 

POST / HTTP/1.1
Host: 192.168.56.17:9801
X-Forwarded-For: 192.168.56.17
X-Forwarded-Server: www.pavan.com
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Length: 6

 

ABC

PQR

 

This is because of content length is 6. If I increase it to 9 then it works perfectly.

 

See here every request is sending its content length. But apache considers all 3 requests as the part of single request.

 

How to convince Apache that the client wants to make 3 separate requests?

 

Waitng for the reply.

regards,
