RE: Content_Length Problem
From what I can tell there's nothing (technically) wrong with what Tomcat + ISAPI Redirector is doing here. What's actually happening here is that Tomcat internally only provides a Content-Length header if it can determine the length of the content easily (e.g. it's a static file) or the Servlet generating dynamic content provides one itself. Any other response content is just written out to whatever connector (HTTP/AJP) is being used. If it's via the HTTP connector, then chunk encoding is automatically provided. Likewise with the AJP connector and mod_jk in Apache - chunk encoding is automatically provided by Apache for all responses that would benefit from it (mod_jk doesn't do anything special to achieve this). IIS being the braindead poor cousin is not so accomodating, as it requires any ISAPI extension to not only tell it that it would like to use persistent HTTP connections, but also provide all of the HTTP level details (including headers and content encoding) to make it work. All IIS does is detect if you've done enough to make the connection persistent and keep open/close the connection if you haven't. Since the current ISAPI redirector doesn't implement chunk encoding, IIS whacks in a Connection: close header on all responses without Content-Length and closes the connection to the client. Closing the connection is actually a valid method of terminating a response message in HTTP 1.1 (as Rainer alluded to, the statement attributed to IBM below about a Content-Length being required in HTTP 1.1 is wrong in a lot of ways - indeed in some responses Content-Length must not be included). http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec4.html#sec4.4 and http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.10 seem to be pretty clear on how an HTTP application that doesn't support persistent connections should behave - what IIS + ISAPI Redirector is doing is (from what I can tell) valid HTTP 1.1, it's just not polite in this day and age. The fact that your web service call works when accessing Tomcat directly via the HTTP connector implies that the client can handle chunk encoded responses, since the Tomcat HTTP connector provides this for anything that doesn't have a Content-Length set, and your logs indicate your web app isn't setting one. I might have missed some magic Content-Length calculation for small responses in the Tomcat HTTP connector, but I'd imagine that wouldn't work in all cases (e.g if you had a really large response message). You could test this theory by sniffing the network traffic when connecting directly to Tomcat, by installing Apache + mod_jk, or by using my patched IIS connector from http://sourceforge.net/projects/timsjk (the latter two options will provide chunked encoding on all responses coming from Tomcat that don't already provide a Content-Length. (btw I'd be very surprised if my chunked encoding patch attached to the BZ issue worked, as it hasn't been updated to trunk for quite a while. http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec3.html#sec3.6.1 states that HTTP 1.1 applications must be able to receive chunk encoded responses so if adherence to HTTP 1.1 is important in your environment, you should be able to argue that this is a valid solution. Other more desperate options would involve content buffering Servlet Filters that wrap the response to calculate and set the Content-Length headers (there were a couple floating around the Tomcat world a while back) and hacking your web service toolkit to buffer messages pre sending and set the Content-Length header. I've used the filter approach in the past (pre HTTP 1.1), and it might be workable as long as your web services responses have predictably and reasonably small content sizes. cheers tim -Original Message- From: Woytasik Joe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, 5 January 2008 10:10 a.m. To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Content_Length Problem Rainer, Thanks for the quick response!

Re: Content_Length Problem
Joe, Tim is right. It's not necessary a problem of the webapp. If content is dynamic and it doesn't make much sense to set content-length before the response, when using AJP it's the responsibility of the web server to handle the dynamic nature of the response. AJP itself knows how to signal the end of the response, and Apache httpd automatically converts such a dynamic reponse (better: one that didn't come from the backend with a content-length) into chunked encoding. Our IIS redirector instead closes the connection, which is another way of signaling the end of the response. It looks like the CICS people have to improve their HTTP implementation to support at least one of those two cases, and then you can choose the appropriate web server.

Content_Length Problem
I have a custom webservice hosted on IIS 6.0 and Tomcat 6, and I am using the latest version of the isapi_redirect.dll. The problem occurs when a CICS mainframe application tries to call this webservice. Everything appears to work fine, but the CICS application receives a response indicating a zero length message. I can view the message being sent from the webservice and this is definitely not the case (have also taken several packet traces to confirm this). We sent our problem to the folks over at IBM and they say that the CONTENT_LENGTH is not being set. Here is their response: The problem is that there isn't a Content-Length header sent by the IIS/Tomcat Server. CICS receives the headers and finds it is an HTTP/1.1 response for a Connection: Close. There isn't a Content-Length header so there can't be any user data (HTTP/1.1 has to supply Content-Length) so DFHWBCL just closes the session. PI domain then indicates that it failed to receive a response. The customer needs to investigate why their IIS server didn't return a Content-Length header. . The Content-Length header is mandatory for CICS' HTTP/1.1 conversations. This is documented in the CICS/TS 3.1 Internet Guide, section 1.3.11.1 (CICS Web support behavior in compliance with HTTP/1.1); this chapter documents the requirement in a section titled New Behavior for CICS TS Version 3, under the first item CICS checks inbound messages for compliance with HTTP/1.1, and handles or rejects non-compliant messages: Note: CICS requires the Content-Length header on all inbound HTTP/1.1 messages that have a message body. If a message body is present but the header is not provided, or its value is inaccurate, the socket receive for the faulty message or for a subsequent message can produce unpredictable results. For HTTP/1.0 messages that have a message body, the Content-Length header is optional. . The reason this is mandatory under CICS/TS 3.1, is due to our adherance to HTTP/1.1 specifications -- in other words, your HTTP/1.1 Web Service PROVIDER platform must provide this header, to be considered compliant. . Please ensure the IIS/Tomcat server sends a proper header. If we make the same request directly to Tomcat using the port number it works fine. The problem either lies in the isapi_redirect.dll or the IIS configuration. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can try to resolve this? Is there a know bug with the isapi_redirect.dll and CONTENT_LENGTH? Thanks- Joe This e-mail is confidential.

Re: Content_Length Problem
Hi Joe, are you able to reproduce the behaviour with few, maybe only a single request? If so: you can increase JkLogLevel to debug (not recommended for high load production size, because it produces a lot of log lines), reproduce the problem and make the log file available. What I didn't really understand from your post: do you know, if the Content-Length header gets send or not? How do you know? Did you sniff the network traffic or do you only know from the CICS behaviour? Lastly: HTTP/1.1 responses without Content-Length headers are valid if they are using chunked encoding (Transfer-Encoding: chunked). I think at the moment the isapi redirector does not use chunked encoding (didn't yet test, but there's an open RFE to implement chunked encoding in the isapi redirecotr), but I want to clarify the absolute statement concerning the http protocol. Chunked encoding replaces the content-length header with sending the number of bytes available in front of every chunk, s.t. the receiving node knows, how much data to expect, without the sending node needing to know the full size before sending. Dynamically generated content often uses chunked encoding to prevent the need of buffering the whole reposne before sending.

We sent our problem to the folks over at IBM and they say that the CONTENT_LENGTH is not being set. Here is their response: The problem is that there isn't a Content-Length header sent by the IIS/Tomcat Server. CICS receives the headers and finds it is an HTTP/1.1 response for a Connection: Close. There isn't a Content-Length header so there can't be any user data (HTTP/1.1 has to supply Content-Length) so DFHWBCL just closes the session. PI domain then indicates that it failed to receive a response. The customer needs to investigate why their IIS server didn't return a Content-Length header. . The Content-Length header is mandatory for CICS' HTTP/1.1 conversations. This is documented in the CICS/TS 3.1 Internet Guide, section 1.3.11.1 (CICS Web support behavior in compliance with HTTP/1.1); this chapter documents the requirement in a section titled New Behavior for CICS TS Version 3, under the first item CICS checks inbound messages for compliance with HTTP/1.1, and handles or rejects non-compliant messages: Note: CICS requires the Content-Length header on all inbound HTTP/1.1 messages that have a message body. If a message body is present but the header is not provided, or its value is inaccurate, the socket receive for the faulty message or for a subsequent message can produce unpredictable results. For HTTP/1.0 messages that have a message body, the Content-Length header is optional. . The reason this is mandatory under CICS/TS 3.1, is due to our adherance to HTTP/1.1 specifications -- in other words, your HTTP/1.1 Web Service PROVIDER platform must provide this header, to be considered compliant. . Please ensure the IIS/Tomcat server sends a proper header. If we make the same request directly to Tomcat using the port number it works fine. The problem either lies in the isapi_redirect.dll or the IIS configuration. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can try to resolve this?

RE: Content_Length Problem
Rainer, I don't think that chunked encoding will solve the problem I outlined. Just out of curiosity is there something special I need to do to enable chunked encoding once the patch is applied?
