The mod_proxy 2.4 module Proxytimeout parameter has the default value of 60 seconds, and not the value of the apache Timeout parameter. The mod_proxy 2.2 module does use the Timeout default value though. I tested this with the latest apache on centos7: httpd-2.4.6-45.el7.centos.4.x86_64 How to reproduce: -Create file /etc/httpd/conf.d/proxytest.conf: ProxyPass /test http://localhost:8080/test ProxyPassReverse /test http://localhost:8080/test - listen on port 8080 nc -l 8080 - send http message to apache date; echo "test123" | curl -X POST http://localhost:80/test -d @/dev/stdin; date -After 1 minute the http socket is aborted. I could reproduce the problem for proxy pass of http and ajp, so probably it is a general mod_proxy problem. -Workaround, create /etc/httpd/conf.d/zz_defaults.conf <IfDefine !Proxytimeout> #Set the default mod_proxy request timeout to 10 min. Proxytimeout 600 </IfDefine>
Hi, I just tested the last httpd version with Timeout = 5 and your settings, it correctly returns a 504 after 5 seconds and not after 60. One thing that I didn't get from your repro use case: you don't set neither Timeout nor ProxyTimeout, so I'd expect httpd to behave exactly as you described, namely timeout after 60 seconds (Timeout's directive default). Maybe I am missing something, do you mind to clarify? Thanks!
Closing as invalid for the moment since there seems to be no follow up and I can't repro, please re-open if necessary :)
