Package: libapache2-mod-gnutls
Version: 0.5.1-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Description:
As discussed on the upstream bug tracker at 
http://issues.outoforder.cc/view.php?id=87 mod_gnutls 0.5.1 is 
incompatible with mod_proxy_http. 

Symptom:
The web browser will keep loading for a long time. When a timeout is 
reached, it will return an error message:
> Bad Gateway
> The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.

The servers' / VirtualHosts' error log will contain entries such as:
> [error] [client 127.0.0.1] GnuTLS: Handshake Failed. Hit Maximum Attempts
> [error] (103)Software caused connection abort: proxy: pass request 
body failed to 127.0.0.1:8180 (127.0.0.1)
> [error] proxy: pass request body failed to 127.0.0.1:8180 (127.0.0.1) from 
> 127.0.0.1 ()

Workaround:
* Use mod-(open)ssl instead of mod-gnutls
* Use mod_jk instead of mod_proxy if you're using mod_proxy to connect 
to tomcat
* Rebuild package with patch at 
http://issues.outoforder.cc/file_download.php?file_id=33&type=bug
* Backport version from squeeze which should contain this patch

Fix:
* Rebuild package with patch at
http://issues.outoforder.cc/file_download.php?file_id=33&type=bug

Note that this is just a partial fix since, as discussed at 
http://issues.outoforder.cc/view.php?id=97 , the patch only fixes 
non-encrypted ProxyPass connections (http but not https).


Thanks.
