Description Gregoire Barbier 2011-02-21 00:58:11 UTC
Description of problem:
Connection closed on HTTP POST requests with payload > 20 kB (bug does not apply on small < 2kB requests but I don't know what is the triggering size)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.5.5-fc13

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. you can install apache, gnutls and mediawiki, configure apache to use gnutls as a SSL server, configure mediawiki
2. try to edit a large wiki page, the connexion will be broken and a blank page will show in the browser, without any kind of error message in the log files
  
Actual results:
https connexion broken, blank page

Expected results:
working connection ;-)

Additional info:
fixed pretty well with 0.5.6 mod_gnutls compiled from here git://git.outoforder.cc/httpd/mod_gnutls.git with "./configure --disable-srp" configuration (otherwise it won't link with Fedora's libgnutls.
