Hi, and thanks for the reponse Chris!

Regarding httpd or not, we're in the process of moving stuff from a
WebSphere 6.1 to Tomcat 7.x but since we don't have the money to move all
apps at once we run both servers behind a httpd, moving one app at a time.

The pcap-files contains the traffic between httpd and tomcat.
ok: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B8cuXS6fkK2YUW5jdzJVbW95VEk
fail: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B8cuXS6fkK2YWVlyTHcwdk1TZDQ

The http-headers are not particularly large (and I guess they would be
rejected all of the times if they were?).
Hmm, on second thought, the headers contain a rather 'large' LtpaToken2
header, don't know if it's considered too large or not though.
http headers: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B8cuXS6fkK2YUFVhXzlJbEFFT28

No ssl, the httpd is ssl-enabled for other url:s but this particular url is
using plain http.

The ajp connector on the tomcat side is basic:
<!-- Define an AJP 1.3 Connector on port 8009 -->
<Connector port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3" redirectPort="8443" />

The context config looks like:
<Context docBase="xxx" path="/xxx" reloadable="true"
 allowCasualMultipartParsing="true">
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve"
directory="logs"
               prefix="xxx_access_log." suffix=".txt"
               pattern="%h %l %u %t &quot;%r&quot; %s %b" />
</Context>
The "allowCasualMultipartParsing" was something I added for testing but I
couldn't see any change in behaviour.

I will try to convince the guys running the servers to deploy a new version
of the app (with extended logging), guess I have to buy them a couple of
beers first though...
