Dario, Thanks for the detailed explanation and for trying out the new API. However, this is not a bug. The output from CURL is the encoding used by Mesos for the events stream. From the user doc <https://github.com/apache/mesos/blob/master/docs/scheduler_http_api.md>:
"Master encodes each Event in RecordIO format, i.e., string representation of length of the event in bytes followed by JSON or binary Protobuf (possibly compressed) encoded event. Note that the value of length will never be ‘0’ and the size of the length will be the size of unsigned integer (i.e., 64 bits). Also, note that the RecordIO encoding should be decoded by the scheduler whereas the underlying HTTP chunked encoding is typically invisible at the application (scheduler) layer.“ If you run CURL with tracing enabled i.e. —trace, the output would be something similar to this: <= Recv header, 2 bytes (0x2) 0000: 0d 0a .. <= Recv data, 115 bytes (0x73) 0000: 36 64 0d 0a 31 30 35 0a 7b 22 73 75 62 73 63 72 6d..105.{"subscr 0010: 69 62 65 64 22 3a 7b 22 66 72 61 6d 65 77 6f 72 ibed":{"framewor 0020: 6b 5f 69 64 22 3a 7b 22 76 61 6c 75 65 22 3a 22 k_id":{"value":" 0030: 32 30 31 35 30 38 32 35 2d 31 30 33 30 31 38 2d 20150825-103018- 0040: 33 38 36 33 38 37 31 34 39 38 2d 35 30 35 30 2d 3863871498-5050- 0050: 31 31 38 35 2d 30 30 31 30 22 7d 7d 2c 22 74 79 1185-0010"}},"ty 0060: 70 65 22 3a 22 53 55 42 53 43 52 49 42 45 44 22 pe":"SUBSCRIBED" 0070: 7d 0d 0a }.. <others In the output above, the chunks are correctly delimited by ‘CRLF' (0d 0a) as per the HTTP RFC. As mentioned earlier, the output that you observe on stdout with CURL is of the Record-IO encoding used for the events stream ( and is not related to the RFC ): event = event-size LF event-data Looking forward to more bug reports as you try out the new API ! -anand > On Aug 28, 2015, at 12:56 AM, Dario Rexin <dario.re...@me.com> wrote: > > -1 (non-binding) > > I found a breaking bug in the new HTTP API.
