[Tclhttpd-users] HTTP/1.1 chunked transfer-encoding support

[Heyligen T. <Tom...@th...>]

Hi tclhttpd-users,

I'm new to TclHTTPD, so please forgive my ignorance.


I'm dealing with a HTTP/1.1 client that is sending dynamic XML content =
to a TclHTTPD 3.5.1 server using POST methods. My intention is to =
implement TclSOAP services under TclHTTPD to handle incoming SOAP calls.

The client sends multiple messages/chunks to the server, indicating =
"Transfer-Encoding: chunked" in the header of the 1st message. Each =
chunks carries its own size indicator. The chunked encoding series is =
correctly ended by a chunk whose size is zero.

Unfortunately, TclHTTPD replies with a 411 error (length required). This =
Httpd_Error seems to be generated in the HttpdRead procedure from =
lib/httpd.tcl when state equals "0,mime".

So, my question is: is chunked transfer-encoding supported? If so, what =
could be missing? If not, any plans to implement it in future versions?


Thanks a lot,
 Tom.
