We have an issue when a client posts a large file to a server using a slow connection. We have a VirtualHost with a RewriteRule to a Balancer with a single BalancerMember. At the other end there is a Ruby on Rails application using Puma as webserver.

Debugging lead me to discover that apache starts talking to the proxy directly when the client connects. The proxy at some time disconnects in which an error is sent back.

A solution would be to have Apache use a content-type chunked when talking to the client but accept the full data first before talking to the proxy. For that I've tried different SetEnv's (proxy-sendchunked 0, proxy-sendcl 1, force-proxy-request-1.0 1, downgrade-1.0 1) of which none resolved my problem. When using curl -0 (force http 1.0)

I hope anybody here could help me in determining if it's even possible to have Apache accept a full request BEFORE it connects to a proxy?

Disable KeepAlive (that counts for apache itself). I don't know how the proxy module sends the data to the reversed server.
