[Cialug] Apache2 Proxy & File Uploads

[Jonathan Bailey]

After looking at a dump, it looks like the multipart/form-data is being
turned into a regular post. If I'm not mistaken, multipart/form-data should
look similar to a MIME message, right?

The Max-Forwards error makes me initially suspect that there is some sort of
looping condition?  Perhaps the request is bouncing between the proxy and
the Web server several times?  Use Wire Shark (formerly
Ethereal) to monitor the traffic between the two servers.
