Sorry, is not very clear: I use in Front Apache-2.0.52 with proxy and reverse proxy to the back-end server: Client--->Apache-proxy<-->Apache-reverse<-->backend server The back-end server receives the request http without the content-length value. (This one is unset) Do we have any mark character to finish body http message in chunk mode ? David. -----Message d'origine----- De : William A.

Transfer-Encoding: chunked. All HTTP/1.1 servers and clients are required to support that method. And HTTP/1.1 servers and clients are required to ignore any Content-Length: header if Transfer-Encoding: chunked is present. > May be a noob question but: Why Apache doesn't calculate the > content-length himself before to send via the proxy handler ? It will, for HTTP/1.0 servers. Care to provide details of a specific problem you are observing?
