Hello.
I am not sure, it's right place for question.
We use passenger with apache. Api responds with 204 via "head :no_content" 
-- ActionController/Head.html

response (tcpdump output):

    HTTP/1.1 204 No Content^M
    Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2015 13:05:41 GMT^M
    Server: Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu)^M
    Cache-Control: no-cache^M
    X-Runtime: 0.025314^M
    X-Request-Id: 28bdd133-29c6-4176-a9a5-edcb628d9a19^M
    X-Powered-By: Phusion Passenger 5.0.14^M
    Transfer-Encoding: chunked^M
    Status: 204 No Content^M
    Content-Length: 0^M
    Connection: close


but according (RFC 7230):

       A sender MUST NOT send a Content-Length header field in any message
       that contains a Transfer-Encoding header field.

plus

       A server MUST NOT send a Transfer-Encoding header field in any
       response with a status code of 1xx (Informational) or 204 (No
       Content).  A server MUST NOT send a Transfer-Encoding header field in
       any 2xx (Successful) response to a CONNECT request (Section 4.3.6 of
       [RFC7231]).


As the result we got this error on ios:

    Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1017 "cannot parse response" 
UserInfo=0x1740eb880 {NSUnderlyingError=0x174051be0 "cannot parse 
response", NSErrorFailingURLStringKey=api-url, 
NSErrorFailingURLKey=api-url, <i raw_pre="_" 
raw_post="_">kCFStreamErrorDomainKey=4, </i>kCFStreamErrorCodeKey=-1, 
NSLocalizedDescription=cannot parse response}

I make a dirty workaround

    headers['Content-Length'] = 0

after "head :no_content", it's remove "Transfer-Encoding: chunked"

according rfc7230#section-3.3.2

    A server MUST NOT send a Content-Length header field in any response
       with a status code of 1xx (Informational) or 204 (No Content).


I think there is passenger or apache bug (maybe documentation or settings 
lack). What should I do?

// and sorry for my poor English
