Strange tux problem

[Hans Christian Saustrup <saustrup@digitalteam.dk>]

Hi!

We've been running Tux on our production servers for a while
now, and so far it's been great. We're running an Apache backend,
which serves stuff like PHP and SHTML. Tux version is 2.2.0-1.

Today, a pretty ordinary request failed for the first time:

GET /redir.php?program=010-029 HTTP/1.1
Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, */*
Accept-Language: da
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
Host: 010.xxxx.com
Connection: Keep-Alive

The connection was closed before we got any response.
Checking the Apache log, it turns out the request never reached the
backend. PHP is listed under TUX/redirect in tux.mime.types - infact
it worked like a charm yesterday :-) The Apache backend is running
on port 8080, and a direct request is served right.
I tried Tux again, this time with an accidental linefeed before the
GET line, and this time it served the request. Puzzeling, eh? :-)

I'm running RH72 with plain vanilla kernel-smp-2.4.9-31.
Tux version is 2.2.0-1.


Cheers,
HC
