Setting the Timeout directive to refrain a DoS attacks

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

 



Hi,

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#timeout says:

The TimeOut directive currently defines the amount of time Apache will wait
for three things
1. The total amount of time it takes to receive a GET request
...

1. seems to be misleading, tests with "Timeout 3" does not appear very
effective.
For example:
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: foo
<sleep 2s>
X-a: b
<sleep 2s>
...

Such requests are not rejected after 3 seconds as expected.
Are we missing in Apache a timer for the header to complete ~ HeaderTimeout
1?

Kind regards - Fred
