Hi all, Since switching to SSL, we''ve been getting a ton of these messages in the apache error log: [Wed Jan 17 19:19:05 2007] [error] (70007)The timeout specified has expired: proxy: prefetch request body failed to 127.0.0.1:8002 (127.0.0.1) from <client ip here> () These happen exclusively with IE6 ajax requests. The user then sees our spinner icon infinitely, eventually apache thrown a scary looking internal error page back. Needless to say a fairly large % of our users use IE6 so this is pretty serious for us. We use apache2.2.3 and mod_proxy + mod_proxy_balancer -> mongrel cluster. Anyone seen this before or know what''s going on? thanks, -Andrew --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Wanted to follow up on this now that we have it fixed.
Apparently there is a bug in internet explorer 6 that will send a
content-length of 0 *sometimes* on a post. (
http://www.modwest.com/help/kb2-260.html -- states it''s intermittent).
That would explain the pretty random behaviour we''re seeing.
The fix that worked as follow, though with a performance hit (
http://www.verysimple.com/blog/?cat=14 ''(although with a performance
hit)'')
<FilesMatch "\.(cgi|shtml|phtml|php)$">
SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
</FilesMatch>
BrowserMatch ".*MSIE.*" \
nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \
downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0
in the vhosts file. ( http://blog.innerewut.de/articles/search?q=SSL)
Darn Microsoft. Well, it gave us a chance to advertise FF while things
were broken for IE. :)
