Description

I did some initial testing/debugging and found that the POSTs would fail from my Note 3 running Android 4.3 intermediately/sporadic. For example - I would request a low res front camera and it would work, second time it wouldn't.

Some digging and I found that there might be a bug in Android's handling of keepalive as once I turned off keepalive in Apache it started to work consistently.

Perhaps it's just a fluke and the wireless is iffy in the Note 3 - however in either case I think that there should be a handshake to make sure the command was received and uploaded. And if an upload fails to keep trying (with a grace period of course) until the upload succeeds.

Research direction

Start by reproducing intermittent POST failures on a Note 3 running Android 4.3, using the low-resolution front-camera request described in the report. Inspect the Android upload path and the Apache keepalive configuration, then verify that uploads remain reliable when keepalive is enabled and transient failures occur.
