I have an issue with Apache proxies.
I was asked to let the connection between Apache and the web client opened, because we are working on SSE.
The problem is that by default the timeout is 60secs. I would like to increase this value significantly, and I found the ProxyTimeout
directive which is great BUT it increases the timeout for ALL proxies.
On my conf I have multiple ajp proxies, and I would have liked to apply the ProxyTimeout
only to /test:
ProxyPass /test ajp://some_ip:8009/some_URL
ProxyPassReverse /test ajp://some_ip:8009/some_url
ProxyPass /test2 ajp://some_ip2:8009/some_url2
ProxyPassReverse /test2 ajp://some_ip2:8009/some_url2
Is there a way to do so?
So far I tested with:
ConnectionTimeout
and
ProxyPass /test ajp://some_ip:8009/some_URL timeout=120
to no avail.
I even tried to specify a timeout with a Proxy block:
<Proxy "ajp://some_ip:8009/some_url">
Proxyset timeout=10
</Proxy>
but again it failed.
I am not familiar with levels of timeout in Apache (I know there are some), and my knowledge of Apache is rather limited.
Thanks for you help!

It's currently not possible because directives inside
<Proxy>
are only read at server-start time rather than after each request.Hope may come from https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=62422
After introducing a "Proxy" context, it should become possible to generically modify proxy settings (
ProxySet
) according to request being served (eg: its URL among other).
