1. The problem I’m having:
I have a caddyFile running to do https reverse proxy to a fast api (python) server, everything works fine most of the time, however my problem is sometimes when the payload is large (about 500KB - 1MB of json strings), my gunicorn server never picks up the request from caddy, i don’t see logs on the gunicorn logfile (for these large requests, i do see logs for succesfull small ones) and this is the last log from caddy:
DEBUG http.handlers.reverse_proxy selected upstream {"dial": "localhost:8000", "total_upstreams": 1}
Im trying to figure out if this is a caddy problem or my python gunicorn server problem, theres no specific logs in the python one so I’m assuming its the caddy layer that is the issue.
heres a successfull series of caddy logs in comparison (For smaller requests that succeed):
2023/03/24 05:47:06.816 DEBUG http.handlers.reverse_proxy selected upstream {"dial": "localhost:8000", "total_upstreams": 1}
3. Caddy version:
v2.6.4 h1:2hwYqiRwk1tf3VruhMpLcYTg+11fCdr8S3jhNAdnPy8=
