Subject: tomcat 6.0.35 with java 7 ssl proxy request body failed
To: users@tomcat.apache.org
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Hi all,

I am wondering whether there is a known issue with running Tomcat
6.0.35 with Java 7 ?

I see lots of "(502)Unknown error 502: proxy: pass request body
failed.." error in our Apache log after running our Tomcat with Java
7. Once I change back Tomcat to use Java 6, I see no error at all.

The error appears when I use Apache to proxy to a backend Tomcat
server through port 8443. No other configuration changed apart
changing Java from
version 1.6.0_26-b03 to Java 1.7.0_09-b05 (both SUN/Oracle). Example
of error message

[Sun Nov 25 23:05:25 2012] [error] (502)Unknown error 502: proxy: pass
request body failed to 127.0.0.1:8443 (127.0.0.1)
[Sun Nov 25 23:05:25 2012] [error] proxy: pass request body failed to
127.0.0.1:8443 (127.0.0.1) from X.X.X.X ()

Other configuration information:

        keystoreFile="/var/server/tomcat.keystore"
        keystorePass="changeit"
               clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS" />


/etc/init.d/tomcat $JAVA_OPTS configuration:
$JAVA_OPTS = "-server -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256M
-XX:+UseParallelGC"


Thanks beforehand for any help or assistance.
