Download pdf fails Backend proto h2

Hello,

I’m experiencing an issue with my current configuration, which involves High Availability (HA) setup connecting to Apache, which communicates with Tomcat. The problem arises when attempting to download a PDF file, as it appears to be getting truncated.

We have observed the following regarding our issue:
When obtaining the PDF file directly from either Apache or Tomcat without involving the HA component, it functions correctly.
Removing the ‘proto h2’ option from the configuration resolves the issue.
The problem appears to be limited to URLs with parameters, where it doesn’t work as expected.

Any help will be welcome. Thank you.
Rafa
