[users@httpd] Re: Large POSTs through Apache reverse proxy to mongrel (Rails) failing

Thanks both. I'll have to negotiate with some of the other users
to install a custom Apache, as Ubuntu doesn't have 2.2 available
yet (though I did upgrade to the latest 2.0 - no luck). Or does
Ubuntu have equivalent to Debian's "unstable"?

Is this likely to fix the problem anyhow? I mean, does send-chunks
change the way mod_proxy reads the incoming entity body? Because
my problem seems to be associated with reading, not sending...

Unfortunately there's no easy way to install Apache 2.2 on Ubuntu dapper.
It requires a backport of at least 20 packages. Someone's done it for i386,
but this server is amd64. Perhaps there'd be a way to backport just the
mod_proxy, but I figure there's a fair chance it wouldn't work with Apache
2.0 anyhow.

For now, I got around my problem by running the mongrel on a public port,
and doing the upload directly instead of proxying it.

BTW, send-chunks with 2.0 didn't help anyhow.
