           Summary: windowsupdate does not work with apache2's mod_proxy
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.54
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: mod_proxy
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: bjoern@cs.tu-berlin.de


The windows update service for Windows XP (windowsupdate V5)

  http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/

does not work, if the internet explorer has Apache2's mod_proxy server as proxy.

The TCP-packet sniffing with Ethereal does not show HTTP error messages. But
probably small changes (URL-rewriting, headers etc.) of the Apache2 server cause
the problems.

The last "good" request (from Apache Proxy to
v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.nsatc.net) is:

  HEAD /v5/redir/wuredir.cab?123456789 (number changed)

After that, windowsupdate requests an error page:

  GET /v5consumer/errorinformation.aspx?error=-123456789&ln=de (number changed)

Microsoft also has an article "You cannot view updates on the Windows Update
site using secure socket layer" 

  http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;326253

about possible problems with windows update and also with proxies. I configured
my Windows XP in the way of this article. But unfortunately the update still
only works, if I NOT use Apache2's proxy module.

If someone wants to fix the problem, I can help with log files, debugging and
may be with coding.
