RE: httpReadReply: Request not yet fully sent "POSThttp://xxx/yyy.php"

 Hi Guys,

I've also begun experiencing this issue with a few sites that we host
internally, we have a Mediawiki and a Joomla CMS installation both of
which use Windows Integrated Authentication (Kerberos not NTLM) behind a
squid reverse proxy. The error seems to show up when doing a large POST
such as uploading an image to the wiki or updating a large article in
Joomla and is quite often followed by an error in Firefox saying that
the connection was reset.

It seems to be that IIS is sending the 401 response before squid & the
client have finished sending the initial request to it, after sniffing
the traffic with wireshark on the client, squid is forwarding the 401
response before the client has finished posting the data.

I'm really at a loss as to what we can do to either fix or work around
the issue. I can't stop using WIA as it's the basis for all our single
sign on sites. If there's anything else that anyone suggest I would
really appreciate it!

If I can help by providing any more information, please let me know

Cheers

Joe

Yes.

No. PMTU is not relevant here at all.

How the script behaves is relevant. If the script responds before
reading the complete request then the above message will be seen.

This may occur if

a) The script fails while reading the request or
b) The script doesn't really care what the POST data looks like,
ignoring it.
or
c) The web server responded with an error.

The most important piece it will tell you is what the response from the
script actually looked like when this problem is seen. This will tell
you if the problem is the script / web server, or if the problem is
related to Squid.

Henrik
