1. Re: Strange case of CRLF being inserted into a gz file
schueffi Apr 8, 2016 5:28 AM (in response to guttorm2)Hi
we experienced the same behavior, when using the AJP-Connector. IT happened from time to time, regardless of the actual response content-type. There is just a CRLF injected at random times / requests. It seems that this CRLF always occurs at fixed offsets (e.g. at the end of a mod_jk - buffer-block, if the response body is larger than a single block. But - not always injected...)
The error did not occur either when using the http-connector directly (e.g. jboss on port 8080), or when utilizing mod_proxy_http from apache or nginx. Unfortunately, we did not get managed to track the bug down, so at the end we are using mod_proxy_http (either directly or via mod_proxy) all the time for all of our deployments (and replaced all our mod_jk configurations).
When using the mod_proxy_http, we faced a different bug: some clients got the wrong content as response. This bug was triggered when using persistent connections in the apache_mod_proxy_http, but again it was not possible to track the bug down. It just happened occasionally from time to time.
This second bug was "solved" by simply disable persistent connections in the apache configuration - and everything works stable now...

Stefan

swd847 Apr 11, 2016 3:27 AM (in response to schueffi)Have you tried with Wildfly 10? There have been a lot of bug fixes between 10 and 8.2.

3. Re: Strange case of CRLF being inserted into a gz file
schueffi Apr 11, 2016 3:44 AM (in response to swd847)Hi,
i did the AJP-test with wildfly 8.0, 8.1 and 8.2. Since then, we switched to mod_proxy_http / mod_cluster-with-http, and so i didn't test this with 9 or 10. Currently, we are using a mixture of 9 and 10 in production - if i get the approval from Ops, i will try this with 10 again.
Apart from this - is there any benefit of using ajp vs http - beside saving a few bytes due to different headers / binary protocol?

guttorm2 Apr 11, 2016 7:03 AM (in response to swd847)Hi Stuart,
With Stefan's experience, it does seem more likely that this is some sort of problem with the caching in the web server.
10 is too new for us, but we will deploy 9.0.2 next week.
I'll report back when we have had it running a week or so.

swd847 Apr 11, 2016 6:16 PM (in response to schueffi)Personally I don't think there is much benefit to AJP, it does save a few bytes on the wire, but that is about it.

6. Re: Strange case of CRLF being inserted into a gz file
guttorm2 Apr 29, 2016 9:27 AM (in response to guttorm2)We have now had wildfly 9.0.2 running in production for 10 days, and have had no new reports of this issue.
So, it seems this *was* indeed a bug in wildfly, but that it is now fixed.
