apachebench reports length errors for dynamic pages

           Summary: apachebench reports length errors for dynamic pages
           Product: Apache httpd-1.3
           Version: 1.3.29
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: Other
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: ccikrs1@cranbrook.edu


Dynamic pages (created with Perl/PHP/... on the fly) rarely have the exact same
byte length for the same URL. Apachebench (src/support/ab), however, registers
this as an error during benchmarking and prints a misleading - and very high -
number of "length errors". I wrote a 5-minute patch that implements a "nolength"
command-line switch to suppress these length errors; I will attach it to this
bug report as soon as I can find the proper button. :)
