Hi Tomcat community, I have a requirement where we want to manually decode a Chunked Transfer Encoding (CTE) stream using CoyoteInputStream to have access to the chunk size. This means I want to use CoyoteInputStream.read method and get the whole CTE bytes. Saying it in another way: we want to decode the CTE at hand skipping Tomcat defaults.
The current flow from the point of view of CoyoteInputStream is: CoyoteInputStream.read -> Request.read -> ChunkedInputFilter.read. ChunkedInputFilter handles the CTE decoding and the read method only returns the chunks, with no other information, like chunk size. I found that the method Request.setInputBuffer might allow to set a different InputBuffer implementation, for instance, the IdentityInputFilter, which I understand returns all the stream bytes, with no decoding. However, not sure if this is the right way and which consequences might have. I would like to know if there are other ways to override the CTE behavior, any help would be appreciated. BTW: We are using Spring Boot with Tomcat embedded. -- Daniel Andrés Pelaez López
