Hi ,
i 'm running a third-party web service authentication module that
hangs when the request coming from the client is splitted out in
different chunks. I don't have access to the module and to the client
neither, so I'm thinking to write an input filter that collects all
the chunks and pass'em to the downstream filter or handler .
Is that possible?
It's possible, yes.
Whether it'll fix the problem for you is not certain. I'd
suggest starting with a quick hack (or a dechunking proxy
in front of your server) to test it first, if you really
can't get the source.
Maybe the Proxy will fix it but it will not be the solution, so i think
i'm gonna write the module-filter.
But i need to know how Apache handle multi chunk request, as im not able
to find this information.
Is request coming entirely to my filter in the form of bucket&brigades
then passed to down-streams module or brigades are passed down as soon
as they come? (I hope i explained it well)
Tnx a lot,
Chris.
