[Solved] HTTP Get response with chunked transfer encoding
Added by msanchom over 7 years ago
Hi,
any suggestion into how to achieve/force http responses with chunked transfer encoding?
what config is needed apart from stream-response-body?
what modules are needed?
I am sending a HTTP 1.1 GET for a file present in lighttpd file system, lighttpd always sends the Content-Length.
HTTP Client: curl
HTTP Server: lighttpd/1.4.45 (on CentOS 7)
Configuration: the default lighttpd config with
server.stream-response-body = 1
Thanks

Why do you need that?
If lighttpd knows the content length, lighttpd sends Content-Length. If lighttpd does not know the content length from a dynamic response (e.g. CGI or FastCGI) and server.stream-response-body = 1, and the client is HTTP/1.1, then lighttpd sends Transfer-Encoding: chunked.

Why do you require Transfer-Encoding: chunked ? Sending Content-Length is nearly the same as sending Transfer-Encoding: chunked and the entire response in a single HTTP chunked block.

I need the Transfer-Encoding: chunked in response to test the chunked te support in http client
