Proxy to a server that returns a 301 causes delay

           Summary: Proxy to a server that returns a 301 causes delay
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.40
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: mod_proxy
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jfletcher@quark.com


http://server:port/ - An origin server, in my case it's not running Apache, but 
I doubt that that matters.
http://proxy:port/ - A 2.0.40 Apache server acting as a proxy.

If I hit http://server:port/ in the browser, the server replies with a 301
and the browser's URL changes to the the new Location.  Fine.

If I set up the Apache proxy server with:
<IfModule mod_proxy.c>
	ProxyRequests On
	ProxyPass / http://server:port/
	ProxyPassReverse / http://server:port/
</IfModule mod_proxy.c>

And hit http://proxy:port/ in the browser, there is a delay, equal to the
Apache proxy Timout setting, before the reply ends up in the browser.
When I hit http://proxy:port/, the origin server is responding with the 301
immediately, and it really seems like Apache is waiting (for the Timeout
duration) before it does the new request.

If I hit http://proxy:port/resource/that/exists.html, I get the reply
immediately.

This same configuration works fine for me in Apache 1.3.22, which I also
have installed and set up as a proxy to the same origin server.  In this
case, I do not get the Timeout delay.
