We have a Glassfish application running on port 8080.
The application is behind an Apache httpd server configured with AJP:
ProxyRequests Off
<Proxy *>
AddDefaultCharset Off
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
<Location />
ProxyPass ajp://example.org:8009/
ProxyPassReverse ajp://example.org:8009/
</Location>
Everything works fine when using Safari, Firefox or Opera. If we use IE somewhere a 2000 is prepended to the output: we get a 2000\n before the beginning of the HTML page.
2000
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head>
[...]
This then cripples the page.
If we connect directly to Glassfish on port 8080 everything is OK.
Edit:
Eccording to http://java.net/jira/browse/GLASSFISH-18341 the default Apache settings should be updated to
BrowserMatch ".*MSIE [2-5]\..*" \
nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \
downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0
since the downgrade is not needed for IE >= 6.0.
The problem persists
Any hints?
BrowserMatch ".*MSIE [2-5]\..*" \
nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \
downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0
is indeed the correct answer! Be careful to scan your httpd.conf file for additional
SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" \
nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \
downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0
that could be present (and should be adapted)
