Bug ID: 63839
Summary: DeflateBufferSize has no effect on Content-Length
header, docs say it should
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.4.41
Hardware: PC
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: mod_deflate
Assignee: bugs@httpd.apache.org
Reporter: m...@contact.de
Target Milestone: ---
The documentation states, that mod_deflate handles a Content-Length header
differently, when the response fits:
"""The DeflateBufferSize directive specifies the size in bytes of the fragments
that zlib should compress at one time. If the compressed response size is
bigger than the one specified by this directive then httpd will switch to
chunked encoding (HTTP header Transfer-Encoding set to Chunked), with the side
effect of not setting any Content-Length HTTP header."""
I tried with a trivial mod_wsgi app sending tiny pages (300 Bytes) with
Content-Length set, and always get 'Transfer-Encoding: chunked' no matter what
DeflateBufferSize is set to.
Browsing through the code, i only saw mod_deflate removing Content-Length but
never setting it anywhere, so i assume it does not set it.
