Hello there,
I've been working with haproxy for some time now and it's doing a fantastic
job! Thank you for all your development and all your efforts in this great
piece of software!
I am trying to implement compression and it's working just fine with fixed
Content-Lengths.
But it seems that compression isn't working when Transfer-Encoding is 'chunked'.
Documentation indicates this as well:
Compression is disabled when:
[..]
* response header "Transfer-Encoding" contains "chunked" (Temporary
Workaround)
[..]
But the next condition is:
* response contain neither a "Content-Length" header nor a
"Transfer-Encoding" whose last value is "chunked"
If I understand that second part correctly, than compression should kick in.
I couldn't find more details on the first part and why there is a workaround
and if it's still in place.
Changelog tells me:
2014/04/23 : 1.5-dev23
- MAJOR: http: re-enable compression on chunked encoding
I am currently using
HA-Proxy version 1.6.4 2016/03/13

Should compression be working with Transfer-Encoding: chunked? If not: Is there
some workaround I could use?
Thank you in advance!
