Title:
  ProxyErrorOverride leads to slow 404 responses

Status in Apache2 Web Server:
  Fix Released
Status in apache2 package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in apache2 source package in Trusty:
  New

Bug description:
  Like described in #53420 [1] there is a bug in Apache 2.4.x which is
  fixed in 2.4.11.

  This bug leads to slow 404 responses when ProxyErrorOverride is
  activated.

  --------------------
  When setting ProxyErrorOverride to "On" to get the httpd-ErrorDocument
  instead of the backend-errordoc, httpd is waiting "ProxyTimeout" seconds
  to respond to the client, even though the response is already read from
  backend server.
  --------------------

  The bug is fixed in 2.4.11 [2]. Is there any chance to get this fix
  into the Ubuntu package for 14.04 LTS?
