Chunked encoding is not implemented correctly
---------------------------------------------
Key: AXISCPP-930
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXISCPP-930
Project: Axis-C++
Type: Bug
Components: Transport (axis2), Transport (axis3)
Versions: 1.5 Final
Environment: Solaris 8
Reporter: Michael Dufel
<Rant>The chunked transfer encoding is broken and results in a 'peekNextChar'
error similar to the one described in AXISCPP-555. I was forced to re-write
HTTPTransport::getBytes() from almost the ground up because of the
unreadableness of the code. Nested do/while loops??? Come on ... Yes I know, I
am a code snob. </Rant>
I believe the problem in the original code was reflected in the case that the
buffer from the channel contains data in the following form:
<some continued data>CRLF
<chunk length 1>CRLF
<some data 1><CRLF>
<chunk length 2>CRLF
<some data 2>CRLF
.
.
.
<chunk length n>CRLF
<some data n>
everything after <chunk length 2> was being dropped by the transport library.
The transport library sends a 'TRANSPORT FINISHED' response and the xml parser
is only given a partial message to deal with. This causes the 'peekNextChar'
error.
Yes, I know that solaris 8 is not supported in Axis 1.5, but this is a protocol
issue, not a platform related issue. Again, since I had to re-write the
getBytes method, I can't offer a code snippet which will 'magically' fix this
problem.
