I need a way to force squid to include the correct Content-length header for every response, even if it's not included by the originating server. Basically, this means I need to cripple squid's performance by disabling sending any data to the client before the entire response is fetched from the server if the server hasn't given us a Content-length. I was playing around with hacking this a bit and realized it's a more difficult problem than I had hoped. The reason for this is that the OpenWave browser used on many mobile phones (including my brand new motorola E815) is broken in a ridiculous way. It requires a Content-Length header that is exaclty <= the size of the content for every HTTP response or it just hangs (see http://demo2.openwave.com:8080/jive3/thread.jspa?messageID=20841). If you give it a length that is too short, it simply cuts off the page at that point. There is no facility for updating the browser version on the phone (see http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/07/19/0048236&tid=100&tid=222&tid +=193&tid=137), so the easiest fix is to hack squid. any help woudl be appreciated. thanks, eric. -- http://ir.iit.edu/~ej
