problems connecting to Apache

Post by jasongr »

Hi people

I am trying to use curl.exe to connect to my Apache Web server and to invoke some php file via POST and to upload a payload file. I am using Apache 2.0.48 on a Windows server machine.

Sometimes, during peek hours, my call to curl.exe fails without getting any response back.
My guess is that during peek hours, I fail to connect to the Apache server.
Is there a way to check this in Apache? How can I find out if this is a connection problem or maybe there is some other problem. For example, maybe curl connects successfully to the Web server, but for some reason, the payload file is failing in the middle.
Maybe a look in the Apache log files will reveal something...

any help would be appreciated

I found out that there are no entries in access.log for those requests that "timeout". I also noticed that curl.exe gives me the following error:Curl (5): Empty reply from server
does anyone know anything about that?
