We are running apache version 2.2.4. Siteminder webagent version 6 QMR5 on solaris 9. We are using reverse proxy feature as well.

Since many days, we are struggling to fix one issue, where user faces problem to upload anyfile (no matter what size is). On browser it throws error
"
Proxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request GET /invoices/HttpController.

Reason: Error reading from remote server
"
Server side logs is written something like this -
"
[Sat Jul 21 16:24:47 2007] [debug] proxy_util.c(1816): proxy: HTTP: has released connection for (qa-e2-vip)
xx.yy.xx.zz - - [21/Jul/2007:16:24:47 -0700] "POST /invoices/includes/uploadFinal.jsp HTTP/1.1" 302 -
"

We looked from all angle to get clue but unsuccessful. Before that we were running Apache 2.0, siteminder webagent 5.0 QMR7 on solaris 9.
We had same problem so we thought to upgrade it to above version. But couldn't get benifited.
We would really appreciate, if anyone throw some lights here.

Do you run apache in debug mode?

Are you using jsp on tomcat for uploading?

Thanks for reply. I got a fix by setting up ProxyBadHeader to Ignore. This solves my problem. If you guys can tell me the downside of this setting would be great.

re: "downside of this setting " - ProxyBadHeader Ignore

The answer depends on what is in the bad header which you are ignoring.

A test you could try is setting ProxyBadHeader to StartBody.

If the bad header doesn't display on your browser screen after this change, try [View Source] in the browser to see what the header really is.
