Hello, We are using Squid as transparent proxy. So our users report problems with several AJAX application.
If "Content-Length" header is absent in POST request Squid sends error reply. AFAIR according to http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2616.html (Chapter 4.3 Message Body) Header "Content-Length" is not not required. The presence of a message-body in a request is signaled by the inclusion of a Content-Length or Transfer-Encoding header field in the request's message-headers. A message-body MUST NOT be included in a request if the specification of the request method (section 5.1.1) does not allow sending an entity-body in requests. A server SHOULD read and forward a message-body on any request; if the request method does not include defined semantics for an entity-body, then the message-body SHOULD be ignored when handling the request. Am I wrong ? Why squid blocks POST/PUT without header "Content-Length" ? Thanks in advance. -- Regards, Oleg
