[users@httpd] Problem with mod_proxy + chunked encoding
Hi,
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,
David.
