[users@httpd] Urgent : mod_proxy + chunked encoding
Hi all,
Is it very urgent to find a way:
We are currently using the "mod_proxy" (proxy + reverse proxy) Apache
module to forward some HTTP requests to an external HTTP
standalone server application. The HTTP clients contacting our front
Apache server are using chunked encoding + HTTP POST.
Our problem is that when Apache forwards the HTTP requests to the
external HTTP application, they are no more chunked,
and they don't have any content-length header either.
The HTTP application contacted handle correctly chunked requests, or
normal requests with content-lenght, but the
case of normal requests without content-length is not handled properly
:(
So, the question is: is there any way to:
a) make Apache forwarding HTTP requests without any modification (keep
the body chunked).
or
b) make Apache adding the body content-length, as it knows the total
length of the body he as "unchunked".
Or, maybe if you have any idea of another solution ?
Thanks for your help,

I doubt that I can help you solve this problem, but you aren't helping
yourself very much either. For example, you make no mention of what
version of apache httpd you are using, or what OS. You also don't
show any actual details of the problem.

Upgrade to 2.0.55 (it is, curently, still a release candidate).
If you want to help test the candidate (and announce your results here)
you can always find 'pending' candidates over at the developer's
download page, http://httpd.apache.org/dev/dist/.
