Problems with 2.0.42 and mod_proxy with Content-Length: - 2.0.39 stripped C-L from all HTTP/1.0 responses. - 2.0.40 retained C-L on HTTP/1.0 responses for GETs, but stripped it for HEAD. - 2.0.42 strips C-L from all HTTP/1.0 responses. Do people think that the 2.0.42 behaviour (stripping C-L from all HTTP/1.0 responses) is correct? The messages referenced below would suggest not, but .42 has reverted to .39's behaviour. It's NOT obvious that the present behaviour complies with RFC2616, of which section 13.5.2 states (in part): "The Content-Length field of a request or response is added or deleted according to the rules in section 4.4", although section 4.4 is plenty vague about what the rules applicable to a proxy are. Before I consider committing some of our internal resources to start work on a fix for this (the problem has some urgency for us in a specific application, as .42's behaviour is breaking things for a specific automated user agent we use), I wanted to confirm the group's thinking about this...
