I'm not familiar with the CDN acronym. I could be mistaken, but I'm fairly certain that HTTP 1.1 required support for chunked transfer (which implies Content-Length would NOT be required for anything HTTP 1.1 compliant). Additionally, I thought the content-length referenced the contents of the file without taking the content-encoding into account.

My thing is, I'm trying to cache said response at my CDN. The CDN requires a content-length header (among other things) to do this. And with the chunked encoding I'm not getting one (fyi, I'm not doing chunked from tomcat, I'm actually sending the content-length). -Tony --------------------------- Manager, IT Operations Format Dynamics, Inc. 303-573-1800x27 abia...@formatdynamics.com http://www.formatdynamics.com > -----Original Message----- > From: Sorin Manolache [mailto:sor...@gmail.com] > Sent: Thursday, July 16, 2009 10:37 AM > To: modules-dev@httpd.apache.org > Subject: Re: mod_deflate feature needed > > On Thu, Jul 16, 2009 at 00:39, Anthony J. > Biacco<abia...@formatdynamics.com> wrote: > > I'm trying to use mod_deflate to compress data coming out of tomcat > > through mod_jk and need the proper content-length header set for the > > COMPRESSED data, but can't do this because the data is streamed and > sent > > after the headers are set, therefore we don't know the compressed > > content-length until after the fact. > > I'd either like to request a option to enable such a feature where I > can > > have the compressed data buffered, the headers set, and then the data > > sent. > > I'd be willing to pay someone here a nominal free to do it privately, > if > > one so wishes to do it. > > Have you tried placing the JkMount directive inside a Location and > using just one argument for JkMount? > > <LocationMatch /examples/*> > JkMount ajp13_worker > SetOutputFilter DEFLATE > </LocationMatch> > > In my case it works, I get a compressed response. > > Here are the relevant response headers: > > HTTP/1.1 200 OK > Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2009 16:28:19 GMT > Server: Apache/2.2.11 (Debian) mod_jk/1.2.26 mod_perl/2.0.4 > Perl/v5.10.0 > Accept-Ranges: bytes > ETag: W/"1127-1245356448000" > Last-Modified: Thu, 18 Jun 2009 20:20:48 GMT > Vary: Accept-Encoding > Content-Encoding: gzip > Transfer-Encoding: chunked > Content-Type: text/html > > As the transfer is chunked, there's no Content-Length but the response > is still compressed. > > Are you constrained not to use chunked transfer? > > Sorin > > > -- > A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. > Q: Why is top-posting frowned upon? > A: Top-posting. > Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail?
