Transfer-Encoding: identity not supported + possible patch





------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2003-07-07 20:45 -------
Brent,

I don't suppose you could provide a wire log?  It might help clarify.

Oleg,

I have no idea whether my analysis is correct or not.  I only noticed this issue
due to my almost pathological interest in making sure streams are properly wrapped.

The RFC apparently got it wrong on this point.  From section 3.6:
"The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) acts as a registry for
transfer-coding value tokens. Initially, the registry contains the following
tokens: "chunked" (section 3.6.1), "identity" (section 3.6.2), "gzip" (section
3.5), "compress" (section 3.5), and "deflate" (section 3.5)."

Except that there is no section 3.6.2.

I found these two links:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-http-wg-old/2001SepDec/0018.html
http://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/http/hypermail/1998q3/0135.html

Which seem to suggest that leaving "identity" in was a mistake.  Maybe you knew
all this, I certainly didn't.  In any case, your assertion that only "chunked"
is valid appears to be wrong, in that "gzip", "compress", and "deflate" are
possible values too.

Anyway, I think it is still necessary to be able to determine the
content-length, so I think my original suggestion might be appropriate, if we
support the "identity" transfer encoding at all.

I've not had a chance to look at the patches you've supplied, just mining for
information so far.

-Eric.
