Hi Rainer, *;

and first off, thanks for being patient enough reading through all the long
message to the very end, as well as for your comment on that. :)

Yes I am seeing upload/POST related issues once in a while, as well (looking
at the Java apps, they end up being something like "upload of
multipart/form-data failed, stream ended unexpectedly"). Seems to depend
upon the size of POSTs indeed, and happens significantly less often than the
download-related issue.

Thanks for the pointer, I will dig into this and see where it gets me,
however this issue did also exist in our "old" reverse proxy environment
(ubuntu 6.06.1, apache 2.0) so I think it is at least not completely Linux
2.6.24 related...

Cheers & good luck on that as well.
Kristian
