Hi, I think that I've been bitten by a resolved bug in mod_jk 1.2.27. The changelog is describing this as:
AJP13: Always send initial POST packet even if the client disconnected after sending request but before providing POST data. In that case or in case the client broke the connection in a middle of read send an zero size packet informing container about broken client connection. (mturk) Let me describe our setup. In our apache we have 2 additional modules, mod_jk and a module for Oracle SSO webgate. The last plugin takes care of authentication and protecting URL's. When an user login to our website, a POST is done containing username/password to a specific URL. This URL is mounted to Tomcat. The Oracle SSO webgate plugin intercepts this specific URL and authenticate the user with the Oracle SSO backend. After authenticating the REMOTE_USER is set and the URL is processed further (by mod_jk). A nasty side effect is that the POST body is removed by the Oracle SSO webgate plugin. Our Tomcat application doesn't have any problems with the empty POST body and responds normal with a redirection (302). In the older mod_jk the 302 was send to the browser and everybody was happy. In mod_jk 1.2.27 however, I find this in the mod_jk logging: [Wed Nov 26 13:14:35 2008] [16251:7] [info] ajp_service::jk_ajp_common.c (2407): (wm9_i) sending request to tomcat failed (unrecoverable), because of client read error (attempt=1) [Wed Nov 26 13:14:36 2008] [16251:7] [info] service::jk_lb_worker.c (1347): service failed, worker wm9_i is in local error state [Wed Nov 26 13:14:36 2008] [16251:7] [info] service::jk_lb_worker.c (1366): unrecoverable error 400, request failed. Client failed in the middle of request, we can't recover to another instance.

Questions: - Is my problem analysis correct - Is this a regression bug - Can I somehow circumvent this (other than not upgrading) regards Henk Fictorie -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/mod_jk-1.2.27-and-an-empty-POST-tp20699972p20699972.html Sent from the Tomcat - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
