Apache is writing 800\n to servlet response outputstream.

[Patrick Liechty <pa...@corbanware.com>]

I have Apache 1.3 with Tomcat 3.1 running on Linux.  I have a weird problem
where I use Tomcat to download an image file to a non browser client.  I
open the HttpServletResponse.getOutputStream() into a DataOutputStream.  I
proceed to write the image to the stream.  I look at the image after it has
been downloaded and it has "800\n" characters about every 1000 bytes.  This
same code ran fine in JServ with Apache.

I got Apache out of the way by hitting Tomcat directly on port 8080 and the
image downloaded perfectly without the "800\n" characters.

Please help.

Sounds like apache is chunking the output stream, which seems a reasonable
thing to do. Do the headers mention anything about chunking?
What happens if you have a static image served by apache,
out of interest?
