** Description changed:

  [impact]
  
  upstream commit 7fdb237f5473cb8fc2129e57e8a0039526dcb4fd broke remote journal 
upload, because it added a check to verify the Content-Length header, but the 
upload may use Transfer-Encoding of 'chunked' which does
  not specify Content-Length.
  
  [test case]
  
- see comment 5
+ setup 2 systems, A and B.  Install systemd-journal-remote on both.
+ 
+ On A:
+ 
+ $ sudo systemctl edit systemd-journal-remote.service
+ 
+ in the editor, add:
+ 
+ [Service]
+ ExecStart=
+ ExecStart=/lib/systemd/systemd-journal-remote --listen-http=-3 
--output=/var/log/journal/remote/
+ 
+ 
+ Then enable/start the socket:
+ 
+ $ sudo systemctl enable systemd-journal-remote.socket
+ $ sudo systemctl start systemd-journal-remote.socket
+ 
+ Optionally, start the service and verify it is running (not required,
+ since the socket will start the service):
+ 
+ $ sudo systemctl start systemd-journal-remote.service
+ $ sudo systemctl status systemd-journal-remote.service | grep Active
+    Active: active (running) since Thu 2019-11-14 20:08:48 UTC; 7min ago
+ 
+ 
+ On B:
+ 
+ Edit the file /etc/systemd/journal-upload.conf:
+ 
+ [Upload]
+ URL=http://192.168.122.184:19532
+ 
+ 
+ Replacing the IP address with the actual ip addr of node A.  Then 
enable/start the service:
+ 
+ $ sudo systemctl enable systemd-journal-upload.service
+ $ sudo systemctl start systemd-journal-upload.service
+ 
+ Check for failure:
+ 
+ ubuntu@lp1847527-d:~$ journalctl -b -u systemd-journal-upload.service 
+ -- Logs begin at Thu 2019-11-14 16:34:08 UTC, end at Thu 2019-11-14 20:19:34

  [regression potential]
  
  this limits the Transfer-Encoding to only be either unspecified, or
  'chunked'.  Any other value will fail.  However, journal-upload.c does
  not ever use any other Transfer-Encoding than 'chunked', and this fix
  comes from upstream and has not changed since applied there.
  
  Any regression would likely result in the failure to upload a remote
  journal.
  
  [other info]
  
  the commit that caused this is not included in Bionic, and the commit to
  fix this is already in Eoan; this is needed only in Disco.
  
  original description:

  I'm requesting that systemd 240 receive the fix in upstream PR 11953
  found here https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/11953
  
  This fixes remote journal shipping using systemd components. I believe
  only Disco (19.04) is impacted by this issue.
