Without looking into the code, i would assume that the simplest case would be to distinguish between cases, where the content-length is unknown and known. unknown means: transformation or dynamic content. for unknown cases i would omit in HTTP/1.0 the content-length and use in HTTP/1.1 the chunked encoding
This also makes sense as it is most trivial to implement (less work, more fun), and we basically already have it that way (more or less). The only trouble is the ton of error messages in the test suite, as we alone cannot handle chunked encoding as consumers! I yet have to see if [ns_http] can do that (I don't think so). Cheers, Zoran
