Hi all,

I have the following rules on my apache 2.2.4 config:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/someURL http://anotherURL [P]

where someURL is the a publicly available url, and anotherURL is a private
url (localhost on another port). This setup is for restricting access to an
application server.

It all works fine, except that the application needs to return an empty body
response (ACK) for some HTTP POSTs, and apache is adding the CONTENT-LENGTH:
0 header to those responses, which is an invalid header in the context of
the protocol used by the application.

Is there anyway of forcing apache not to add the content-length header to
the responses?


Apache is a http server, not a http-but-not-really server. If your
client barfs on a correct Content-Length header then your client is
broken. I'd suggest either using 204 No Content, or designing your own
protocol.
