Re: No content length

[Anthony Bull]

Yeah, thats correct.  For instance, if you configure Tomcat to use a chunked transfer encoding, it will send servlet responses to clients in chunks.  The content-length isn't really very useful as chunking it means you don't need to have your whole response in memory when you start the transmission, it can be streamed.  It is very useful if you are sending large objects around such as files. rp johns wrote: Can someone elaborate on exactly what chunked means? I'm using axis1.4 so it's within that cointext that I'd like to  know. I mean, I can guess that it means transferring the data in chunks, rather than buffering it all in memory, which has obvious advantages for large scale data loads. Is this assumption correct? And if so, does the chunking comprehend attachments? Thanks Anthony Bull wrote: The HTTP spec says that if you are using chunked encoding type, then content-length can not be used, so yes. Its interesting because I used a generated client recently with a .NET service and by default the chunked encoding was turned off when I generated the client stub.
