Re: [users@httpd] CGI response using chunked Transfer-Encoding, Apache erroneously adding Content-Length

Cool well I managed to get an NPH version working just fine.  Thanks.  :)

I'm interested now as to what the official behaviour should be.  Is it
invalid for a non-NPH script to set Transfer-Encoding to "chunked"? 
The paragraph you quote from the CGI spec doesn't mention any headers
in particular.
