Reverse Proxy to HTTP web application server causes browser to hang.

           Summary: Reverse Proxy to HTTP web application server causes
                    browser to hang.
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.35
          Platform: Sun
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: mod_proxy
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: darron.wood@fmr.com


When I connect to the secure Apache web server running on port 443 (SSL
enabled) that Reverse Proxies all requests to an NT or UNIX web
application server listening on port 80 (NO  SSL) my browser hangs
when trying to get a document through the Reverse Proxy.  I've tried both 
Netscape and IE browsers
and they act the same.  I've disabled KeepAlives at the Apache web
server and at the web application server levels (UNIX and NT) and it
still fails.

This Fails:
https (from client browser)  ----> https Apache web server  (Reverse
Proxy Server) ---->  http NT IIS or UNIX web application server

This Works:
http (from client browser)  ----> http Apache web server  (Reverse Proxy
Server) ---->  http NT IIS web application server

This Works:
https (from client browser)  ----> https Apache web server  (Reverse
Proxy Server) ---->  https NT IIS web application server

It seems to me like there's a problem with the proxy module in Apache
2.0.35 that's causing this.
