Kevin Minder updated KNOX-80:
-----------------------------
Fix Version/s: 0.7.0
> Knox should not set HTTP request content length as -1
> -----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KNOX-80
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KNOX-80
> Project: Apache Knox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Server
> Affects Versions: 0.3.0
> Reporter: Dilli Arumugam
> Fix For: 0.7.0
>
>
> I see gateway-provider-identity-assertion-
> pseudo/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/gateway/filter/IdentityAssertionHttpServletRequestWrapper.java
> is returning -1 as Content-Length if contentType.startsWith(
> "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" ).
> This not standard compatible and I believe is error prone.
> Please see http 1.1 specs at
> http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.13
> Quoting from the specs:
> Any Content-Length greater than or equal to zero is a valid value. Section
> 4.4 describes how to determine the length of a message-body if a
> Content-Length is not given.
> So, we should not return content-length value as -1.
> If we rewrite the content and change the entity length in the process, we
> have to compute and set the correct content-length or try to leverage chunked
> encoding where you do not specify the content-length header.
