I have an Apache2 server working nicely with mod_proxy pointing at mongrel that's started using --prefix. One of my forms allows file upload, with the expectation of large files. When I upload a file of 370KB (from Firefox on Mac OS/X), Apache is returning a connection reset error and dropping this in error.log:
Connection reset by peer: proxy: prefetch request body failed to localhost from AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD
I checked the Apache source code, and there seems to be a 16384 byte buffer which it uses to try to prefetch the POST body so it can send Content-Length. After googling a bit, I tried setting some Apache2 special environment variables that promised to modify the behaviors:
SetEnv downgrade-1.0 SetEnv proxy-sendcl SetEnv proxy-sendchunked
I tried these one at a time... still get the error.
What am I doing wrong?
