Apache 2.0 Proxy & Windows Update
I'm not a developer but am in desperate need of some help for the Apache
2.0 proxy mod. I've been running it on 2.0.43 (and just tried 2.0.44
with the same result) and I keep getting errors when my users try to
access http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ . It says and error has
occured and won't let you update your computer. I installed the Apache
1.3 on the same box with the same options and it works just fine so it's
isolated to 2.0. Does anyone have any suggestions or help? I would
really appreciate any assistance.
Sincerely,
Jay W. Reffner

Can you try a nightly build of httpd v2.0.45-dev and see if it fixes
your problem?

This isn't too surprizing... a patch was just committed (after .44) to the
2.0.45-dev tree that will prevent us from removing the content-length.
Although we use either connection: close or chunked responses, it seems
many Windows 'client' apps including Adobe's Acrobat+IE absolutely barf
when they don't see a content-length (even though it's optional) in conjunction
with byteranges. Since all windows download/updates tools use byteranges
to skip through and resume transmisssions, there is a pretty good chance
this will be licked in 2.0.45.
