Thanks Eric and Prasanna. To answer - all .htm pages are served by tomcat, so apache acts only as a proxy. Some .htm pages work, others don't. When I try the HTTP connector from Tomcat, these pages that don't work return an incomplete status line: "HTTP/1.x 200" , instead of "HTTP/1.x 200 OK" (the final OK is missing). This is confirmed also by wget, which says "Malformed status line" for the pages that don't work ok. I think this error reflects also when using the AJP connector which talks with apache. So I guess this may be a Tomcat problem after all. In any event, is there a way to make Apache complete Tomcat "failures" of sending incomplete status messages? Perhaps some way to ignore this and still return OK...
