You'll see that Content-Length doesn't merit more than SHOULD, which is short of MUST and means you don't strictly spoken have to send it. Further in section 4.4 it says that clients MUST send a Content-Length header with *requests* that contain a request body, and the server can respond with a 400 or 411 if the client doesn't comply. But that's the *request*, not the response your application sends. For that matter, Transfer-Encoding: chunked is the very best of both worlds, and all HTTP/1.1 servers must accept it for requests. You send chunks of data from your dynamic app as they are ready, and wrap them with a numeric designation of how much each chunk contains. Terminate with a 0 sized chunk. So, you don't need to know the final size, can send-when-ready as each part is composed, and STILL use keep-alives to send another request when needed. If you wrote a simple CGI, you'll notice that this is *exactly* what httpd mod_cgi does for clients who accept chunked encoding :) Bill - The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.

That reason to want HTTP/1.0 is just plain wrong.

You'll see that Content-Length doesn't merit more than SHOULD, which is short of MUST and means you don't strictly spoken have to send it. According to section 4.4 of the RFC, you have several options to indicate the length of your resource. You could just send it and close the connection (option 5), which would do the trick but won't allow the client to calculate how long it has left to go. Further in section 4.4 it says that clients MUST send a Content-Length header with *requests* that contain a request body, and the server can respond with a 400 or 411 if the client doesn't comply. But that's the *request*, not the response your application sends. In any case, it doesn't necessarily matter what you *heard*. The RFC is the definitive source of information, stop hearing and start reading.

RE: [EMAIL PROTECTED] How to configure Apache 2.x for HTTP 1.0 version?
Hi, I want HTTP 1.0 protocol because I heard that passing content length in HTTP 1.0 request is not mandatory. In my application, the client does not know the length of data to be sent to server through Apache as proxy. When I switched to HTTP 1.0 still its forcing content length in the request. Do you know how to send dynamic data from client without specifying content length?
