Erroneous "identity" Content-Coding supplied to Content-Encoding header for
uncompressed attachments
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-1128
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1128
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Bug
Components: HTTP Interface
Affects Versions: 1.0.2
Environment: CouchOne
Reporter: Andrew Gleave
Priority: Minor
According to the HTTP / 1.1 spec, the "identity" content-coding is to be used
used only in the Accept- Encoding header, and SHOULD NOT be used in the
Content-Encoding header. Currently, any uncompressed attachment which is
retrieved from CouchDB will have Content-Encoding:identity specified in its
response header.
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec3.html#sec3.5
All browsers and most proxies seem to ignore the header and function correctly.
However, Microsoft's ISA 2006 proxy seems to reject the entire request, meaning
all attachments are inaccessible from behind the proxy.
