So you're using mod_jk 1.2.30 to connect Tomcat 5.5 and SunOne?

Okay.

Is this data /from/ Tomcat /to/ Sun One, or from Sun One /to/ Tomcat?
That is, are we looking at a request or a response? It kind of looks
like a response, but I just want to be sure.

Can you dump the whole response?

Why are the hex offsets different? Differing standard headers? Again,
can you post the whole response?

Are all of these dumps from the same response, but at different points
in the process?

I can see that there is a "1ff8" (in text) in that last dump. What is that?

It appears that some component is switching the Transfer-encoding to
"chunked". Do you know if that's intentional?

Is that a Greek Omicron? Or something else?

The CR LF CR LF seems to be more likely to be correct.

Those 4 extra characters are likely to be the chunk size. 31 66 66 38
is, well, "1ff8", which is 792 in decimal. So, the chunk size is 792
bytes. Did you get 792 bytes after the next CR LF? Again, a complete
response would be helpful in determining what's happening.

Technically speaking, this is not content: it's header. Your client is
misinterpreting the data it's receiving from the server.

Take a look at http://www.httpwatch.com/httpgallery/chunked/ - the page
is chunked with each line of text in a separate chunk. I think it will
demonstrate what I'm talking about. If you can't view it any other way,
you can do this:

$ telnet www.httpwatch.com 80 > temp.out
GET /httpgallery/chunked/
Connection closed by foreign host.
$ less temp.out

You should see content like this:

[snip]
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store
Pragma: no-cache
Expires: -1
Content-Type: text/html

7b
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>

2d
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>

[and so on]
9
</body>

9
</html>

2


0

[the 0 indicates the last chunk, which contains no data].

Is this what you're observing, here? If so, I think it's standard
"chunked" response encoding.
