All
I am using Sun One Application Server 8.1 and am running a web service on it. I am trying to send a request to the web service and my soap request contains an attachment. When I run this client locally against my app server, everything runs fine. When I try to run it against another server that is behind a firewall using a reverse proxy over HTTPS, I get the following return payload message:
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>The Proxy Was Unable to Fulfill Your Request</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
<H1>The Proxy Was Unable to Fulfill Your Request</H1>
<HR SIZE="1">
<P>The proxy was unable to fulfill your request because the computer at hwvauap358.hud.gov:8181 does not appear to be functioning properly. While attempting to communicate with hwvauap358.hud.gov:8181, the proxy encountered the following error: HTTP7769: error sending request body (Connection reset by peer)</P>
<P>If you typed the web address, please check for typographical errors. If the address is correct and later attempts to access this website are still unsuccessful, you may wish to contact the website's administrator.</P>

Here are a few points of interest.
1. I have a ping method on the web service - it succeeds fine. No attachments.
2. I get similar behavior as above when I try to send a larger XML file (> 5 MB). Again this succeeds locally.
3. Upon looking at the server access logs, it appears as if a 401 is occuring causing the application server to reject the client's request. However we have a realm defined that goes against the database and it is not failing at that point. The same credentials are used when we send a small & large file and the small file succeeds.
I am stumped as to why this is happening. Any insight/help would be greatly appreciated.
