Bug 354303 – Apache 2.2.16 produces 400 Bad Request (No configuration issue)

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 354297
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Timo A. Hummel 2011-02-09 23:58:24 UTC]

After upgrading to Apache 2.2.16, I encounter many 400 Bad Request errors.

This can be reproduced on at least 3 servers. Downgrade to 2.2.15 fixes the issue. An example for such a request looks like this:


Bad Request

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Request header field is missing ':' separator.


I am not sure if this is an upstream bug.

Reproducible: Always

Please add your emerge --info output and try to get some relevant info from the apache log files. You should also present more information about your web servers configuration.

[Comment 2 Timo A. Hummel 2011-02-10 00:21:24 UTC]

The apache configuration is untouched (=as installed by gentoo). I'm currently tracking the bug down, I suspect it happens because of dev-libs/openssl-1.0.0d. I will report if openssl-1.0.0d is the cause.

emerge --info:

Then this is probably a dupe of bug 354297 which is likely a duplicate of bug 353814.

[Comment 4 Paweł Jastrzębski 2011-02-11 16:22:06 UTC]

It is dupe of bug 354297 but it is _NOT_ dupe of bug 353814.
Issue is caused by mod_ssl bug.
