This isn't too surprizing... a patch was just committed (after .44) to the 2.0.45-dev tree that will prevent us from removing the content-length.
Although we use either connection: close or chunked responses, it seems many Windows 'client' apps including Adobe's Acrobat+IE absolutely barf when they don't see a content-length (even though it's optional) in conjunction with byteranges. Since all windows download/updates tools use byteranges to skip through and resume transmisssions, there is a pretty good chance this will be licked in 2.0.45. Bill At 06:35 PM 1/22/2003, Jay W.
