Hi, I'm attempting to write a CGI script response which has the Transfer-Encoding header set to "cunked". Apache is buffering the output and erroneously adding a Content-Length header which is forbidden by the HTTP spec [1].
Does anyone know of a way to fix this problem and generate a real chunked response from CGI? Below are some more details. [ Here is the output my CGI script is giving to apache ] Transfer-Encoding: chunked Content-type: text/plain b Hello World b Hello World b Hello World 0 [ Here is a sample request I can make manually using telnet ] GET /~pauldoo/cgi-bin/tunnel.py HTTP/1.1 Host: localhost [ And finally here is the response apache gives, note the Content-Length ] HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Sat, 03 Sep 2005 21:06:46 GMT Server: Apache/2.0.54 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.54 OpenSSL/0.9.7g-fips DAV/2 Transfer-Encoding: chunked Content-Length: 44 Content-Type: text/plain b Hello World b Hello World b Hello World 0 [1] http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt section 4.4: "Messages MUST NOT include both a Content-Length header field and a non-identity transfer-coding. If the message does include a non-identity transfer-coding, the Content-Length MUST be ignored." -- Paul Richards --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
