I see a lot of 408 errors in my apache2 logs. I increased RequestReadTimeout and KeepAliveTimout but errors are still there.

The errors look like this:

xx.xx.xx.xx - - [05/Dec/2012:19:33:56 +0100] "-" 408 4561 "-" "-"
xx.xx.xx.xx - - [05/Dec/2012:19:33:56 +0100] "-" 408 4561 "-" "-"

I heard that these errors are related to Chrome optimization and some users did reported our site returning 408 internal error.

It is interesting that we get two 408 error from same IP in sequence then it that IP start working.
