Last updated on JANUARY 15, 2024

Applies to:

Oracle HTTP Server - Version 12.2.1.3.0 and later

Symptoms

ProxyTimeout directive allows a user to specifiy a timeout on proxy requests.

When accessing a forward proxy of HTTPS request, the request will not end with the value specified by ProxyTimeout. This issue is not reproduced with forward proxy of HTTP request. ProxyTimeout directive is not effective with HTTPS request only.

The steps to reproduce are:

client--http--OHS--http--WLS

client--https--OHS--https--WLS

1. Prepare a simple sleep web application in WLS.

2. Add the following to httpd.conf of OHS.

But the request https://<WLS IP>:7002/sleep/sleep.jsp will sleep until the specified time ends.
