mod_proxy header problem (test results here)
I am having problems accessing pdf files from certain types of clients
(adobe version, os, etc) when getting the pdf file via mod_proxy. If one
goes straight to the pdf file (no mod_proxy in between), there is no
problem.
I did 2 tests and captured all the headers. In Test 1, I made the request
for the pdf file via mod_proxy. Test 2 goes straight to the web server
(iis). I cut out the content returned for brevity.
In brief, the request using mod_proxy does Transfer-Encoding of chunked, and
returns no content length. Not using mod_proxy, there is no
Transfer-Encoding and there is a content length.
The request agent used to make the request was the same (my program). User
Agent sent was "MakeHttpRequest"
Below is result headers for the two tests. Any help would be appreciated.

I've unset proxy for *.pdf in the Netscape Proxy Servers = NoProxy in
Apache. Time to test the new 1.3.24
