Bug#573163: apache2.2-common - mod_proxy_http reports stray timeouts

[Bastian Blank <waldi@debian.org>]

Package: apache2.2-common
Version: 2.2.15-1
Severity: important

I'm playing with mod_proxy (and mod_cache) in front of some Zope
servers.

Config is mostly unchanged. Virtual host config:
| <VirtualHost *:8080>
|   ServerName http://example.com:8080/
|   UseCanonicalName On
| 
|   <Proxy *>
|     Order deny,allow
|     Allow from all
|   </Proxy>
| 
|   ProxyPass / http://localhost:2120/VirtualHostBase/http/example.com:8080/root/VirtualHostRoot/ max=3
| </VirtualHost>

Especially the timeouts are unchanged:
| Timeout 300

However it starts to report timeouts shortly after the server start.

| [Tue Mar 09 14:24:03 2010] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down
| [Tue Mar 09 14:24:05 2010] [notice] Apache/2.2.15 (Debian) configured -- resuming normal operations
| [Tue Mar 09 14:24:29 2010] [error] [client 0.1.2.3] (70007)The timeout specified has expired: proxy: error reading status line from remote server localhost, referer: http://example.com:8080/fakultaet
| [Tue Mar 09 14:24:29 2010] [error] [client 0.1.2.3] proxy: Error reading from remote server returned by /fakultaet/test.jpg, referer: http://example.com:8080/fakultaet

The timeout is reported less then 30 seconds after the start, which is
much below the configured timeout.
