[squid-users] Content Length Header problem

This email is to be read subject to the disclaimer below.

Hi All,

I saw a posting from Henrick with the following comment in it regarding
content length headers and squid handling them.

Link > http://list.cineca.it/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0010&L=squid&P=R28799

I was curious about something, we have pages that use a activex function
that is generating data dynamically and squid seems to always report a 411
error (length required) in the link above it mentions this will occur in
the following situation.

a) If there is no Content-Length on requests which must have one (POST,
PUT)

Becasue the content is being generated dynamically in cannot tell the
content length in advance, I am thinking it should be using chunked
encoding until it knows the length???

When I sniff the connection to the proxy I see a POST method take place so
I am thinking that I am experiencing the exact problem mentioned in the
post.

We are running Squid 2.4 STABLE 3 and are wondering if there is any
solution to this problem, I belive the coding is dodgey but not sure how
easy it is going to be to get them to change it.

Any help or comments would be appreciated, Henrick? :)

When you are the man you have to be the man, and when it comes to squid
Henrick is the man.......
