Re: Content-Length Header being used previous HTTP Response

Agree that removeHeader inbetween the routes fixes the problem.  It's
great experience having to go through all the code to figure out a
content-length header mismatch is the issue since the request just
hangs.  I ran into it again with the following scenerio using the
automatic json binding in the REST DSL with stream caching enabled.

this.getContext().setStreamCaching(true);

restConfiguration().component("netty4-http").port(8282).bindingMode(RestBindingMode.json);
               
                rest("/bind").post()
                    .type(InputDTO.class)
                    .outType(OutputDTO.class)
                    .to("direct:bind");

              from("direct:bind")
                    .setHeader(Exchange.HTTP_METHOD, constant("POST"))
                    .setHeader("Accept", constant("application/json"))
                    .setHeader(Exchange.HTTP_PATH, constant(""))
                    .setHeader(Exchange.CONTENT_TYPE,
constant("application/json"))
                     .process(new Processor() {
                       
                        public void process(Exchange exchange) throws
Exception {
                           InputDTO body =
exchange.getIn().getBody(InputDTO.class);
                           body.setDescription("SomethingElse");
                           
                        }
                    })
                    .marshal().json(JsonLibrary.Jackson)
                    .to("http4://localhost/realservice?bridgeEndpoint=true")
                    .unmarshal().json(JsonLibrary.Jackson,
FinalOutputDTO.class);

The json coming into /bind is pretty printed so includes spaces and
returns.  After it's marshaled to an object and the object is modified
the Content-length will change.  Seems like removing the content-length
header in the DataFormat used to do the marshal ling or perhaps
providing an option in the HTTP Client to ignore the content-header
would be useful.  Again willing to help collaborate on a patch but I'd
like some input on where it would fit best.  Currently thinking either
in the DataFormat marshal methods and/or the HttpProducer.

Sorry that should read "not a great experience".   I was not attempting
sarcasm for effect there.   Apologies for any misunderstand and the
extra noise on the list.
