Does AJPv1x need Content-Length ?

[eh...@inexware.fr]

hi,
I'm trying to send data to a servlet through a TCP connection. I create my
socket, then send a GET /myapp HTTP/1.1 .......  But I need to define the
content-length for apache to transfert the data to the servlet and
afterwaerds I can't send any more data through this opened connection. Has
anybody met such an issue and found a workaround ?
Thanks in advance
Emmanuel

Using persistent connections with HTTP/1.1 is done by sending completely
separate requests without closing the socket in between.  But it's
actually a *lot* more complex than that -- the specification that your
client program needs to obey (RFC 2616) is several hundred pages long.  

You might want to investigate finding a class library that does all the
hard stuff for you, or in JDK 1.3 or later you can use HttpURLConnection
with HTTP/1.1 persistent connections.
