long URIs terminate transaction

           Summary: long URIs terminate transaction
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: HEAD
          Platform: All
               URL: http://coad.measurement-factory.com/cgi-
                    bin/coad/GraseInfoCgi?session=bug&info_id=test_clause/rf
                    c2616/longUri
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: mod_proxy
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: coad@measurement-factory.com


Looks like a possible RFC 2616 MUST violation.
As a proxy, Apache must not silently terminate 
connections if the URI is too long. It must respond 
with an error message if it cannot handle the request.
At the very least, silent termination should not
be the default behavior?

See attached traces for details and ways to reproduce
some of the violations mentioned above.

Test case IDs in the trace link to human-oriented test case
description and RFC quotes, if available.
