Hi. This is strange, then:
Winamp requests in HTTP 1.0 but Tomcat (now installed 5.0.16) respons in HTTP 1.1 and has no content length AND no chunked encoding. See the HTTP headers by yourself: GET /yarf/n_The_MUCK.mp3;jsessionid=D4E5F5AFA47090670FBEF73FCF2AAF86?trackid=1&file.mp3 HTTP/1.0..Host: yarf.sytes.net..User-Agent: WinampMPEG/5.0..Accept: */*..Icy- MetaData:1..Connection: close.... HTTP/1.1 200 OK..Content-Location: In_The_MUCK_28k.mp3..Content-Type: audio/x-mpeg..Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2004 13:15:12 GMT..Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1..Connection: close.... How can that be? This goes against the standards as you mentioned (although it does what I want and works). Additionally, when requesting in http 1.1 (which Winamp does when requesting ogg), I get this: GET /yarf/In_The_MUCK.ogg;jsessionid=D4E5F5AFA47090670FBEF73FCF2AAF86?trackid=1&file.ogg HTTP/1.1..Host:yarf.sytes.net..User-Agent:Winamp..Accept:*/*.... HTTP/1.1 200 OK..Content-Location: In_The_MUCK_isdn.ogg..Content-Type: application/ogg..Transfer-Encoding: chunked..Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2004 13:17:22 GMT..Server: Apache- Coyote/1.1....400.. Notice the 400 at the end which tells that a 400 byte chunk follows. For some odd reason it sometimes sends in 400 byte chunks, but sometimes in 2000 byte chunks. Winamp at least recognizes the stream as audio and jerkily plays with 2000 chunks but does nothing with 400 byte chunks. I added a parameter restrictedUserAgents="Winamp" to the connector (also tried Winamp.*) but no change in server behaviour. What am I doing wrong? How to respond in HTTP 1.0 without chunked encoding (and ofcourse no content length) in the second case?
