POST /webappdir/ HTTP/1.0 Content-Length: 3000000000 Apache sends a 413 and closes the connection as soon as I enter the line break after the headers. I've checked that Firefox is sending an appropriate Content-Length header, so the difference in browser/telnet behavior should not be down to this.
Firefox probably asked for a keepalive connection. Your telnet didn't. Is your backend script being passed the oversized request, or is it just an issue of keeping the connection alive? Could it be that you're getting an immediate response, but Firefox isn't telling you immediately? (yes, it smells of a buglet, but we should try to diagnose as much as we can before jumping to conclusions). -- Nick Kew --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
