--- Comment #21 from William A. Rowe Jr. <[email protected]> 2010-07-27 15:05:09 EDT --- >> Why not open the request to the back-end right away? >> It would improve performance even on regular GET requests In fact, it does nothing of the kind, it increases the contention for the backend servers. The current behavior is correct for taking the stress of the much more computationally intensive backend applications. HTTP/1.1 Content-Length description is prescriptive of the server's behavior, and this incorrectly implemented protocol could have *trivially* used the semantically sensible chunked encoding methodology. The one and only hack around HTTP/1.1 non-compliance is to open a connection oriented stream and distrust the entire communications stream. -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
