Hi all,

I am currently getting to the bottom of a test case that checks httpd's 
response to an abnormally large chunk extension from a reverse proxy server. 
What httpd does now is trigger an error, causing both the upstream and 
downstream connections to be terminated and truncated. Is this the correct way 
to respond to this?

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-p1-messaging-22#section-4.1 says 
this:

"All recipients MUST be able to receive and decode the chunked transfer coding 
and MUST ignore chunk-ext extensions they do not understand."

Does the above "they do not understand" requirement include the requirement to 
ignore chunk-ext extensions that are too long? (For some arbitrary definition 
of long)

Regards,
Graham
