Opened: Nov 14, 2019

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

First HTTP request on a connection creates a connection to the server. Subsequent pipelined requests should be processed and use the established connection to the server. However, the requests were queued in the proxy and not processed resulting in connection hang.

Impact

Connection hangs and is eventually reset.

Conditions

- HTTP or HTTP/2 virtual server with httprouter profile. - HTTP/1.1 connections with the client and server. - Pipelined HTTP requests.

Workaround

No workaround.

Fix Information

If a connection to the server has been established, pipelined requests are now processed immediately and not queued.
