Description Jasmin Mehta 2006-12-11 13:49:47 UTC
proxy: Error reading from remote server returned by /blah/blah/, referer: 
https://<www.www.com>/blah/blah/

We consistently seeing the above error in error_log and have tried all 
different workaounds. We get this error with 2.0.55, 2.2.2 and 2.2.3

We also tried changing the log level to debug or 
SetEnv force-proxy-request-1.0 1
SetEnv proxy-nokeepalive 1

Nothing has worked so far. Any suggestions?

That's a normal error message, when the backend doesn't send a response that's
valid HTTP (or close enough to recover).  What makes you suppose it's a bug?

I see the same error message after de connection to the backend server was 
closed by the backend server because the connection was idle to long. It looks 
like mod_proxy is trying to use a closed connection resulting in this error.
Also mod_proxy discard the connection and create a new one. It keeps using the 
closed connection so the next requests are also failing.

The configuration I use is very simple:

<VirtualHost X.X.X.X:80>
    ServerName www.xxxxx.xx
    Redirect         temp / http://www.xxxxx.xx/general/index.html
    ProxyPass        /general http://xxx.intranet.xxx.xx/general
    ProxyPassReverse /general http://xxx.intranet.xxx.xx/general
</VirtualHost>

Peter, yes, that's PR#37770, and it's fixed in 2.2.4.

Since there's no response from the OP, I'll take your interpretation and mark it
a duplicate.
