Request Failed Error Reading The Headers Referer
The LB machine is Redhat 9.0 with all but ports 22 and 80 firewalled. The servers on the web farm are Apache 1.3.x running, among other things, FastCGI and mod_perl.The problem: the web servers in the far are dropping errors into the logs, once or twice a minute (but probably will be more by morning load) to the tune of "request failed: error reading the headers".It seems to be a very select problem request failed error reading the headers ibm http server -- there are few relevant mentions of this one usenet or even the web, and many are reports of worms or the posts were never followed up on. I was ready to give up and blame httpd 2.0 or mod_perl. But...I did some checking and creative grepping on my error and access logs on both the LB and the webheads and found something interesting. The errant requests were being passed from the httpd 2.0 front end, but the errors weren't directly caused by it.Instead I found that these are errors cause by someone issuing a "proxy request" to my site; but since the load balancer is not (anymore) configured as a proxy, it passes those "CONNECT // HTTP/1.1" requests to the webheads. The webheads in turn either don't do proxying or have it disabled and thus throw errors: "request failed: error reading the headers".This can be proved by running tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log | grep headers in one window and tail -f /var/log/httpd/access_log | grep CONNECT in another -- whenever an "error reading the headers" message appears, a CONNECT message will also appear in the access log and they both will have the same timestamp.So in the end, in cases such as this, these errors are safe to be ignored.

I don't see any relation to some specific browser or some specific request, it is totally random. Also it can not be the switch problem because I have the same problem on my other apache servers that are not sharing same switch. Till now I tried to: - update network card driver - raise RX from 256 to 4096 with: ethtool -G eth1 rx 4096 - bond second network card to the interface - google this problem many times but didn't find the solution or same issue.
