mod_proxy HTTP/1.1 delay

           Summary: mod_proxy HTTP/1.1 delay
           Product: Apache httpd-1.3
           Version: 1.3.24
          Platform: Sun
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: mod_proxy
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: mike@daboyz.org

In our environment, we use apache as a proxy for our backend weblogic 5.1 servers.

I just recently upgraded our apache server in our QA environment to apache 1.3.24 because I noticed that there were quite a few enhancements to mod_proxy.  Unfortunately, apache 1.3.24 seems to be very very slow when dealing with http/1.1 proxy requests.

It looks like what is happening is that the client makes an HTTP/1.1 request to the apache server. The apache server then sends a HTTP/1.1 request to the weblogic server. It processes the request, then sends back it's reply, along with a Connection: Keep-Alive header. The apache server then keeps that connection open, but doesn't send any further requests along that connection, and doesn't send the reply to the client. Eventually, the weblogic server kills the idle connection, and apache sends the reply back to the client.

Is this the proper way for an http/1.1 proxy to work?
