Hello. There is a bug in apache 2.0 which leads to data loss with mod_proxy. http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37145 The downloadable Patch solves this problem. regards t.
2.0.56 should be out real soon now, which addresses this problem.
*** Bug 121853 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Anyone know when the new apache will be in portage? Is there any fix possible without patching apache by hand?
Oh yeah, it's "real soon now" as of early February. The workaround I found is to install mod_security, which is probably a good idea anyway. mod_security pre-filters all requests so it avoids the mod_proxy breakage which seems to related to how it handles streams. Note that the default Gentoo mod_security configuration file breaks all kinds of things, and you should comment out/delete almost all the rules (most of them are nonsense, or examples of what you can do but probably shouldn't), and use something like the ruleset at modsecurity.org. http://www.modsecurity.org/documentation/modsecurity-apache/1.9.3/html-multipage/aa-recommended_configuration.html
Thanks a lot, that really fixed it and everythink still seems to work with mod_security!
