Hello, I've got a simple web application deployed, and am accessing it via a basic mod_jk load balancer setup. The web application on the J2EE app server is returning a fixed "Content-Length: 84" header (it's just a HelloWorld page for testing purposes), but when I access the same application via the mod_jk web server I'm getting *both* a "Content-Length: 84" header and a "Transfer-Encoding: Chunked" header (see bottom of mail). I'm pretty certain that these headers are mutually exclusive, no?
I'm struggling to understand where this Transfer-Encoding header is being created, and why! It's certainly not the backend web application. Its presence is causing problems for upstream proxy servers, which assume the body will be chunked, but it's not - so we get back mangled HTML. I'm running the following setup: * Backend J2EE app server: JBoss 4.2.3 with a simple HelloWorld app deployed under /test * Sun ONE 7.0u6 (stock configuration) with mod_jk 1.2.28 The mod_jk workers.properties is shown below: worker.list=jkstatus,PORTALMY worker.jkstatus.type=status worker.basic.type=ajp13 worker.basic.connection_pool_timeout=600 worker.basic.socket_keepalive=1 worker.basic.lbfactor=1 worker.PORTALMY.balance_workers=PORTALMY0,PORTALMY1 worker.PORTALMY.type=lb worker.PORTALMY.reference=worker.basic worker.PORTALMY0.host=appserver1.company.com worker.PORTALMY1.host=appserver2.company.com worker.PORTALMY0.port=8009 worker.PORTALMY1.port=8009 Now, I should add that I can't be certain whether it's SunONE or mod_jk that's inserting this header. I would have thought that if the Content-Length header was available, then there should be no need to insert the "Transfer-Encoding: Chunked" header - as the length of the body is already known before it's even begun. Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
