Re: Zend PASE Apache Conf

[Scott Klement <web400@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Alfredo,

thanks for the clarification.

It appears that it's not sending the "last chunk" indicator in the 
chunked transfer coding.  (That's the final 0 you see in your "right" 
example, but don't see in your "wrong" example.)

I have no clue why that would be the case.  I can't imagine that would 
be a configuration issue -- it's a part of the transfer coding.  It 
wouldn't be an optional feature you could set up wrong.

Try your TELNET example again, this time specify HTTP/1.0 instead of 
HTTP/1.1 -- version 1.0 of HTTP didn't support the chunked transfer 
coding, so theoretically, it shouldn't exhibit the problem.

I would assume that it's a bug in the program code.  Possibly it's 
buffering the output, and never flushing the final buffer.

If you look at the config file you posted for port 4443, you'll see this:

BrowserMatch ".*MSIE.*" \
        nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \
        downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0


This code is working around a bug in Internet Explorer by downgrading 
the connection to HTTP/1.0.  It's there for a separate problem -- but I 
have a feeling it'd solve your problem as well.  You might (as a test, 
if nothing else) try inserting this into the 8000 config file -- though, 
make it broader so that it matches all browsers -- and see if that 
helps..?

It'd just be a workaround, of course.  It would have a negative impact 
on performance -- but who knows, you may never even notice the difference.
