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.

Would you be willing to capture the traffic with wireshark or (tcpdump using -s 65535) when the failure occurs? It would be helpful in diagnosing the exact reason the connection is lost (tcp, http protocol issue, etc).

If you prefer not to post the dump on list, you can email us privately.

Thanks!
