Hi And thanks for all the quick help.
It turned out to be a really rookie mistake. It was my firewall, that was changing my request. I have to try to defend myself for being so stupid. I am using a coorparate machine where I cant see the firewall in the tray, so I thought no firewall was running. Another thing is, that I think this is a big problem if many firewalls make it impossible to compress responses using the accept-encoding header. again thanks to all the people here helping tomcat users. regards Christian On 4/14/07, Martin Gainty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Good Morning Kristian- if by weird you mean "you dont understand" then take a look at http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2005/06/22/sparklines.html?page=last According to this link a response of dashes is interpreted as "0 bytes returned" A few basic questions: Is the server xmitting using HTTP 1.0? In other words are you running tomcat 3.x? If so can you transmit a default value in other words transmit something other than 0 bytes? Transmit via HTTP POST (instead of GET to ensure you are not causing an length overrun scenario with HTTP GET) Enable HTTPMonitor and trace every response What is the Content-Type for this response? What is the Content-Length for this reponse? I found this link quite instructive http://www.samspublishing.com/articles/article.asp?p=31443&seqNum=6&rl=1 HTH Martin-- This email message and any files transmitted with it contain confidential information intended only for the person(s) to whom this email message is addressed.
