Cannot add new hard due date in web client

Evergreen master

When attempting to add a new hard due date via the Hard Due Date Changes interface in Server Administration in the web staff client, I click on the button and get no changes applied.

Looking at my server logs, I see the following error details emerge:

2017-04-28 05:42:02 ubuntu16 osrf_http_translator: [perl:error] [pid 2585] [client 127.0.0.1:43900] Global $r object is not available. Set:\n\tPerlOptions +GlobalRequest\nin httpd.conf at /usr/share/perl5/CGI.pm line 339.\n, referer: https://192.168.56.101/eg/staff/admin/server/config/hard_due_date
2017-04-28 05:42:36 ubuntu16 osrf_http_translator: [ERR :2574:./osrf_http_translator.c:233:149337239025743] Session cache for thread 0.89785444762101821493372539115 does not match request

Since I don't have this problem on Webby, perhaps this is either an issue specifically for Ubuntu 16.04 and newer Apache 2.4?

Will investigate further.

I am not able to reproduce this with Chromium Version 58.0.3029.81 Built on Ubuntu , running on Ubuntu 17.04 (64-bit).

The host is an Ubuntu 16.04 64bit server VM with 4GB of RAM and master compiled from working/user/gmcharlt/lp1545115_signoff. So, it's fairly recent, i.e. less than a couple days old.

I was able to add a new hard due date as the admin user with no problems.

I also fail to reproduce the reported behavior after updating the installation described in comment #1 to the latest Evergreen master.

It may be relevant to note that I am not running a proxy for websockets, and this sounds similar to an OpenSRF bug that was recently reported:

Yup, I am using the proxy. Thanks for the pointer to the opensrf bug. I'll follow up on that side of things and close off this bug.
