Windows Update Problem

["Jay W. Reffner" <re...@findlay.edu>]

I posted this question a couple of months ago when 2.0.44 was released. 
  I was unable to use mod_proxy to use 
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ and was getting an error message and 
unable to update my computer.  I didn't get any resolution then and 
decided to wait for 2.0.45 to come out.  Well, since then I've upgraded 
my HPUX 11 system to 2.0.45 and tried it again.  Much to my dismay, 
WindowsUpdate still doesn't work with 2.0.45.  Does anyone have any idea 
what's wrong?  It seems to function correctly on the 1.3.x proxy but not 
2.0.  Any feed back would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jay

A fix was posted to proxy to stop it from fiddling with content length, 
and this fix is available in v2.0.45.

The trouble is the content-length filter (which has nothing to do with 
proxy) is also fiddling with content length - and the problem remains.

A bug report has been opened on this against the apache core.

You'll probably get a better response if you post this to the main 
apache development list, instead of proxy, as this is a general apache 
problem.

Graham
