Separating requests with persistent backends

Wed May 30 10:20:27 UTC 2007

Hello all.

Ever since I enabled persistent connections to the backends I get  
strange requests in my apache error logs. I'll paste one in the end  
of the mail.

The request seems to be part of another request that was split  
somehow as it doesn't contain the first part (GET, POST,  
whatever ...). This wouldn't concern me much, as the request seems  
like SPAM, if not for the last part of the request: GET /js/pngfix.js  
HTTP/1.0. It seems that this bogus request is messing up the next  
request in line as well...

Just so you know this is a Livejournal installation and the request  
seems to try to leave a comment. I was expecting Perlbal to discard  
these invalid requests or at least separate them...

Is my analysis wrong?

Thanks,
André
