Missing Transfer-Encoding: chunked header from proxy.

           Summary: Missing Transfer-Encoding: chunked header from proxy.
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.43
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: Other
         Component: mod_proxy
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Target:  ibm-http-server (apache 1.3.xx) 
Flow:
1- Browser sends request to proxy
2- Proxy passes request for PDF doc to IBM
3- IBM ws starts returning the data to the proxy using content-length headers 
(HTTP/1.1)
4- When the complete document is retrieved to the proxy (this is also a bit 
confusing but never mind) the 200 OK reply from the proxy to the browser is 
returned with the following headers:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n
Date: (correct date)
Server: IBM_HTTP_SERVER/1.3.19.2 Apache/1.3.20 (Unix)\r\n
Last-Modified: (last modified date)
ETag: "21aca-49........."\r\n
Accept-Ranges: bytes\r\n
Content-Type: application/pdf\r\n
Connection: close\r\n
\r\n
data
....

Now IE either closes the connection and re-tries (user still dont have the 
document) the get, or sends a (reset) On TCP level and retries the get.

My guess is that IE 5 does not understand that it is a chuncked encoding apache 
wants to perform because the Transfer-Encoding: chunked header is missing.

I will send the complete sniffer file in "any" format (ethereal / tcpdump 
snoop ..) on request for further analysis.
Regards,
Dario.
