mod_reqimeout

[Carl MaGill]

I found the same issue on Stackoverflow (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67333374/getting-unknown-readrequesttimeout-parameter), but there has not been any movement since May 1. So I thought I would ask here.

Bottom Line is Apache HTTP available for RHEL does not like the "handshake" as outlined in the module documentation.

Module is loaded -

LoadModule reqtimeout_module modules/mod_reqtimeout.so

Used example 1 from Apache Documentation - https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_reqtimeout.html

RequestReadTimeout handshake=5 header=10 body=30

I tried placing it in the server config and virtual host and received the same result.

Output error -

#httpd -t
AH00526: Syntax error on line 116 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
RequestReadTimeout: handshake=5: Unknown RequestReadTimeout parameter

Apache Version -
Server version: Apache/2.4.6 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux)
httpd.x86_64 2.4.6-97.el7_9

OS - RHEL 7.9

Figured it out - the RHEL 7 version of HTTP does not include the handshake option. The RHEL 8 does work.

Thank You.
