Description of problem: we are working with RHEL 5 in a customer's project. They have the Apache 2.2.3 package "httpd-2.2.3-31.el5" with mod_proxy_apr and tomcat 6.0.20 installed on RHEL x86_64 web servers. We now encountered a file upload problem similar to the following one: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45911 At the end of the bug description it is mentioned that the bug has been fixed for all apache versions > 2.2.9 - so we tried that out and the issue was gone with Apache 2.2.14. I think that problem is not platform-dependent since we could also reproduce it on windows systems. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): httpd-2.2.3-31.el5 How reproducible: use a servlet in tomcat 6.0.20, httpd and mod_proxy_apr and upload a .zip-file with 3 or 4 megabytes. The .zip file will be unreadable by the servlet because it is either bigger or smaller than the original file. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install tomcat 6.0.20, httpd-2.2.3-31.el5 with mod_proxy_apr 2. Handle file uploads (either with the com.oreilly classes or the apache file upload library) 3. Upload a large .zip file and compare the uploaded file with the original 4. Install httpd 2.2.14 with its mod_proxy_apr module and do the test again.
Thanks for the report. We can backport that patch.
