Mark - would you be able to explain to me then what your understanding is of the intended use of chunk extensions within HTTP?
I understand what you are saying and I understand I may be pushing boundaries with what I am doing here and may write some of my own stuff for this purpose however the extensions look like a useful feature anyway so I'd be interested in knowing your opinion on them. ________________________________ From: Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> To: Tomcat Users List <users@tomcat.apache.org> Sent: Wednesday, 5 January, 2011 14:58:55 Subject: Re: Tomcat and HTTP chunk extensions On 05/01/2011 14:52, EOIN MCQUILLAN wrote: > Mark - maybe I am pushing the boundaries with what I am doing here however >given > > the HTTP RFC provides us with a chunk extension capability then I would have > assumed there would exist an set of API calls within Tomcat that allow us to > read/write a chunk extension? Your assumption is wrong. There is no such API. The HTTP protocol does not allow for client/server during a request/response. The client sends a request message, the server replies with a response message. That is all you have to work with. To repeat what I wrote before. Chunking is a transfer encoding. It applies *per link*, not end to end.
