File upload via SSL not possible

Rails
1

We use an apache server (version 2.0.54) with mod_ssl and the latest
rails version on a Gentoo Linux OS.

We tried to run our application in both, a virtual host using HTTP and
another using HTTPS with identical server configurations. With HTTP, we
did not have any problem, but HTTPS did not allow us to upload files in
rails into a database.

The log file displays a fcgi timeout and the HTTP return status is 500
(server error).

We assume that mod_ssl and fcgi (not fastcgi) do not communicate
properly.

Did anyone already have this error? How can it be solved?

I just deployed my app against apache2/mod_ssl etc as you mention - and
have the same problem.

the fastcgi.crash.log contains the following
