> Having a case with misbehaving online service in forwarding proxy mode: the origin server responds with chunked encoding, but closes the connection before sending the final 0\r\n\r\n chunk. I know it’s against the standards, but all browsers seem to be fine using the "partial" data received.
> It would be great to have the following logic implemented in ATS: in case of premature connection reset, forward and flush all available data before closing the second connection. Currently ATS seems to reset the connection without forwarding the partially available data.
> Here’s a real-life example: http://www.indiancivils.com/virtual/ShowVideoTrial.aspx?VidId=86
> Once the flash object on the above webpage is loaded it makes authorization request to http://www.authorlive.com/aliveext/ValidRecordingToken.aspx?t=13071753&r=2688:
> * client request
> {noformat}
> GET /aliveext/ValidRecordingToken.aspx?t=13071753&r=2688 HTTP/1.1

> Here the origin server resets the connection without sending the closing chunk.
> ATS closes the client’s connection without forwarding the existing "34\r\n<recording><validtoken>true</validtoken></recording>" chunk.
> As a result the flash application complains with "You are not authorized to watch this recording !”, effectively prohibiting the user from watching the pre-recorded online class session.
