ACE: connection reset using Firefox

Plinio Brandao
Level 1
Level 1

Hi Community,

I'm expecting some problems with ACE. I've configured it to loadbalance between 4 nodes with SSL termination at ACE.

Everything was working fine up to the identification of a problem using firefox browser. With Chrome and IE works fine.

The user is trying to upload a file to one of the 4 nodes. When the costumer click at the send button, the Firefox shows the following message: Connection Reset.

Can you suggest some actions? This problem just happens when the user try to upload the file. Whe he's just surfing through the system, works fine.

Thank you in advance.

From my prior experience I have seen similar issues with firefox.

Please try using firefox for reproducing the issue and get the output for below :

show np 1 me-stats -shttp

Look for counter value

Exceed max buffer errors:                     16901    <<<<<  Check if the counter increase after the test.

you can try few times and in case if you see the value increasing for  “ Exceed max buffer errors”

I believe if you do the following and test that should fix it. I have seen similar issue with a customer and the below has fixed it.

configure set header-maxparse-length 65535 and set max-parse-time 65535 and set content-maxparse-length 65535

host1/Admin(config)# parameter-map type http http_parameter_map

host1/Admin(config-parammap-http)#

host1/Admin(config-parammap-http)# set content-maxparse-length 65535

host1/Admin(config-parammap-http)# set max-parse-time 65535

host1/Admin(config-parammap-http)# set header-maxparse-length 65535

host1/Admin(config-parammap-http)# length-exceed continue

Apply the above in multimatch policy :

appl-parameter http advanced-options http_parameter_map

Let me know the result after applying the above.

Hi.

Your config seems pretty unclear to me.

Can you install the extension names "live http headers" in firefox, reproduce the problem and send the trace here ?

Hi Ajay,

I was facing same problem, after configuring parameter-map type http as define in your post problem has been resloved.

Thanks,

Vashdev

Hi Vashdev,

Thanks for the feedback. I am glad that the issue is resolved.

with regards,

Ajay Kumar.

Hi Ajay,

Only this afternoon I tried your suggestion and it worked very well.

Do you have any idea why Firefox need these particular configurations?

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi Plinio,

Good to know that the suggested configuration helped you to fix the issue.

I haven't looked at the capture file. I will try to take a look at it and will let you know the difference.

regards,

Ajay Kumar

Hi Ajay,

your configuration worked also in my case. Thanks you foyour help. The only thing I'm a little bit disturbed is that I don't know what I did exactly ...

Best regards

Marko

I can try to guess most probably you would be filling a big form and posting it. Or a file upload.

regards,

Ajay Kumar

Whoohoo, this also fixed my problem. FF was the only browser having problems with an ssl-proxy over here. Installed this parameter map and *poof* problem went away without sideeffects for other browsers.

Thx!,

Hans
