AB> To explain why there are no Content-Length headers with the latest
AB> version of WWWOFFLE I have added the following entry to the FAQ:
Am I to understand that you now do on-the-fly modification? (If so,
I'm impressed.)
I would still like to encourage you to generate Content-Length
whenever possible. C-L constitutes very useful information which may
allow the client to perform a number of optimisations.
(In the particular case of Polipo, for example, Content-Length will
make the proxy avoid the overhead of chunking to the client. It will
avoid the overhead of realloc-ing an instance's in-memory index.
Furthermore, it will be used to decide whether to pipeline or to open
a new connection.)
