Description of problem:

Using "WSGIChunkedRequest on", services using chunked transfer encoding make mod_wsgi crash with a segmentation fault. It seems that the fact that it still tries to read the content-length for requests using chunked transfer encoding, even though it's not present. As seen in logs like this:

[Thu Nov 17 13:51:24.572138 2016] [http:info] [pid 20503] [remote 192.168.24.1:136] AH01588: Requested content-length of 9223372036854775807 is larger than the configured limit of 2147483647

The file I was uploading to that service was surely not of size 9223372036854775807 .

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mod_wsgi-3.4-12.el7_0.x86_64

I noticed this when trying to run the OpenStack service called Glance over httpd, and trying to upload images to it.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. deploy a service that requires transfer-encoding (such as glance)
2. try to do a request that uses chunked transfer encoding

Actual results:
requests fail and I see the logs I posted above.

Expected results:
The image upload should finish.


Additional info:

Using the latest mod_wsgi from source (having compiled it) works and the issue cannot be reproduced with it.
