> Hi all,
> 
> I have a system which reads data from a log-file on the file system which is 
> created and appended during reading. (I do a java implemented 'tail -f' on 
> that file and writes it to the outputstream of the servlet). 
> 
> I set the "transfer-encoding: chunked"-header and after each line (could be 
> also from time to time) I do a flush in the stream in order to send it to the 
> client.
> 
> This worked in older versions of jetty. Now we did an upgrade to 6.1.26 (the 
> highest stable version available via Maven-Repo) and found out that this is 
> not working any more.
> 
> According to https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=364174 chunking is 
> now completely handled inside jetty. The developers recomend to get all data 
> first, "de-chunk" them and then give it to jetty. I disagree about the 
> interpretation of the servlet spec that this is only the responsibility of 
> the container (and indeed other containers like tomcat, websphere etc. do 
> allow pre-chunked-responses). And also I do see some cases where this is 
> really in need - another example would be proxying some remote resources 
> which are slow on connection...
> 
> This leads to the fact, that the log is not delivered before the process has 
> ended (or perhaps a bigger amount was created - our logs are very small). As 
> this servlet is used to monitor the process this breaks completely the 
> usability.

> So the question is:
> 
> Is there any possibility to tell jetty that the servlet is responsible for 
> chunking and jetty should not buffer or anything like that?
> Or - if this would work - to "disbale" the internal chunking by setting the 
> chunk-size to a very small value (that would not be a real problem at our 
> case as the only other accesses are some small soap-requests)
> 
> As far as I see the only other option would be to replace jetty by something 
> else in this case (ugh)
