Apache request failed: error reading the headers
Issue
-
Seeing the following errors in the apache error log:
[error] [client 192.168.1.100] request failed: error reading the headers, referer: http://<host>/index.jsp?foo=bar -
Apache waits a time equal to the Timeout directive (defaults to 5 minutes if not defined) for a response from the client. It is likely Apache is waiting for the CRLF that indicates the end of the headers, yet it is never received.
Environment
- Apache httpd 2.2
