Apache is receiving requests at port :80 and proxying them to Jetty at port :8080
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server
The proxy server could not handle the request GET /.
My dilemma: Everything works fine normally (fast requests, few seconds or few tens of seconds
long requests are processed ok). Problems occur when request processing takes
long (few minutes?).
If I issue request instead directly to Jetty at port :8080 the request is processed OK. So problem is likely to sit somewhere between Apache and Jetty where I am using mod_proxy. How to solve this?
I have already tried some "tricks" related to KeepAlive settings, without luck. Here is my current configuration, any suggestions?
#keepalive Off ## I have tried this, does not help
#SetEnv force-proxy-request-1.0 1 ## I have tried this, does not help
#SetEnv proxy-nokeepalive 1 ## I have tried this, does not help
#SetEnv proxy-initial-not-pooled 1 ## I have tried this, does not help
KeepAlive 20 ## I have tried this, does not help
KeepAliveTimeout 600 ## I have tried this, does not help
ProxyTimeout 600 ## I have tried this, does not help
