we use Apache and Jetty to do install components behind a firewall. Some actions take a while ( 10-15 minutes ). Apache is the proxy and Jetty is the proxy target on some machines. Everything works fine for actions taking less than 5 minutes. Actions taking longer than 5 minutes fail with a 502 proxy error.
I have seen some similar topics and the advice was to define timeout and keepalive - both did not help.
our setup ist:
Windows 2012R2 Apache 2.4.9 Jetty 7
Initially I forgot to mention that there is a firewall between the apache and the Jetty.
In apache httpd.conf we have:
ProxyPassMatch ^/([a-z0-9\-]+)/(.+)$ http://$1:3000/$2 timeout=3000 ttl=3000 Keepalive=On
We hoped that timeout=3000 ( 3000 seconds ) would keep Apache waiting for about 50 minutes for the response from Jetty. Keepalive and and ttl are trials ...
On Jetty we are calling a simple Groovy script that simply sits and waits for a long time. If the waittime is small this works as expected. If the waittime is beyond 5minutes we get an error:
Apache Access: ( the request starts at 17:25 )
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx- - [02/Apr/2016:17:25:47 +0200] "GET /server/scripts/waitlong.groovy HTTP/1.1" 502 445 "-" 300509428 "-" "10.119.1.20" 10.119.1.20 3000
As you can see the duration is about 5Minutes ~ 300509428 and thus a timeout - it should have lastet for 10 minutes.
Apache Error: ( the request times out at 17:30 )

Any ideas how to do to keep Apache waiting for a longer time ??
