# New Ticket Created by Gajdov Gabor # Please include the string: [perl #41973] # in the subject line of all future correspondence about this issue. # <URL: http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=41973 > Dear Perl crew! I hope, I'm writing to the correct e-mail address about libwww LWP::Protocol::http.pm bug. I think we've found a bug in the http.pm module. Situation: We have to send xml documents in POST method to a server via an unknown reverse proxy. Problem: We found out that if the xml document is above an exact size (8k) we get back an "500 write failed" error message. After a day of debugging my colleague found the problem: The transaction may run on timeout after the header at the proxy side and reset the connection, so it doesn't receive the content. Solution: After applying the attached patch: in the request the CRLF after the header, will sent with the content, in this way the proxy will wait for the content and doesn't reset the connection. And the transaction works properly. I hope you'll find it useful. And sorry for my bad English. Cheers, Gabor Gajdov Linux System Engineer Hungary.Network Inc.Thread Next
