We have an app which sits behind an Apache instance using mod_proxy to pass requests to the correct app server.

Our app correctly returns a Connection: Keep-Alive when queried directly, but mod_proxy is scrubbing the header.

I did some reading and a few suggested that the client needs to set a Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive to the the proxy about this, but that didn't work either.

Is it possible to have persistent connection proxied by apache?

  • Is the KeepAlive parameter in apache on or off? Commented May 11, 2011 at 7:14
  • It is off at the moment, however my reading suggests that the KeepAlive parameter refers to sending TCP keepalives to the backend, and seems somewhat seperate to the HTTP 1.1 Keep-Alive. Commented May 11, 2011 at 22:58

Given that you say apache has KeepAlive off, I'm guessing its closing the connection. Try turning it on per KeepAlive

  • I tried it after I read your comment. Didn't fix the issue. Some weird gzip flag did in the end, and then to add insult to injury the top level problem turned out not to be anything to do with apache. Commented May 12, 2011 at 6:38
