Apache, http 1.0 and content length

[Frederik Nosi <frederik.nosi@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to debug a client app, which seems not able to handle chunked 
encoding but needs Content-length set. My configuration is apache 2.2 -> 
mod_jk 1.30 -> tomcat 6.0.x. I forced http 1.0 so chunked encoding 
doesn't get used adding this:

<Location /blah>
        SetEnv downgrade-1.0
</Location>


so far so good, chunked encoding doesn't get used, but at this point 
Content-Length does not get set too. I looked at the online 
documentation both of Apache 2.2 and tomcat-connectors, but I couldn't 
find a way to force it. For now i'm just doing a:

header set Content-Length 65535

Which with my browser works but is ugly. The real page length is < 65535 
obviously) but not sure if this will work with my costumer's app, i'm 
waiting for him to make a test.


My question is, how can i force apache to calculate a valid content 
length given this conditions?


Thanks in advance,
Frederik
