#39 Problem with AJP running behind Apache 2.2 mod_proxy

[Kariem]

I have encountered the following issue when trying to run Winstone behind Apache 2.2 with mod_proxy enabled:
- Apache shows an internal server error (500)
- log files show the following error message

### start
Error within request handler thread
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 1230
at java.lang.String.checkBounds(String.java:401)
at java.lang.String.<init>(String.java:442)

at winstone.RequestHandlerThread.run(RequestHandlerThread.java:79)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619)
### end

The setup is intended to proxy Hudson through AJP behind an Apache running HTTPs. A related issue was also reported on the hudson mailing list [1], but I have not found any associated bug here, or additional information there.

Winstone parameters (as run in the hudson.war):
--webroot=/var/run/hudson/war
--httpPort=-1
--ajp13Port=8102
--ajp13ListenAddress=127.0.0.1
--prefix=/hudson

Apache configuration snippet to proxy requests
### start
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPreserveHost On
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass /hudson ajp://127.0.0.1:8102/hudson
ProxyPassReverse /hudson ajp://127.0.0.1:8102/hudson
### end

Is this a known issue? What can be done.

Thank you,
Kariem

P.S.: Please excuse me, if this question has already been asked. The bug tracker is not really searchable.
