we put nginx upfront undertow and everything works as expected.

so we have: apache -> nginx -> undertow :S

apache can't be removed it and as I said before existing apps running on
Tomcat/Jetty work without any issue

we need to move on with our project (wasted a lot of time on this) but I
will try capture the traffic with wireshark and shared it.

still, if you find out something will be helpful too.
