[users@httpd] Reverse Proxy Issue on Apache version 2.0.65

[Otis Dewitt - NOAA Affiliate <ot...@noaa.gov>]

Greetings,

I am constantly getting this error below in my log file:

*[error] (20014)Error string not specified yet: proxy: pass request body
failed to 172.16.11.212:7705 <http://172.16.11.212:7705> (www.example.com

This error is causing sporadic "*Internal Server Errors*" when render pages
in Jira. I do not get any other errors.

Can someone please point out the meaning of this error as it does not make
any sense to me whatsoever. I have been trying to solve this issue for over
a year to no avail.

I decided to make 2014 the year for get rid of this error.

Any help would be highly appreciated. I have specified the directives in
use below:

# JIRA Reverse Proxy
    ProxyPass /jira https://www.example.com:7705/jira
    ProxyPassReverse /jira https://www.example.com:7705/jira

# JIRA (15min Timeout)
    ProxyTimeout 900

    <Location /jira>
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
# Avoid proxy errors
    SetEnv force-proxy-request-1.0 1
    SetEnv proxy-nokeepalive 1
    SetEnv proxy-initial-not-pooled 1
    </Location>

Thanks,
Otis
