| Subject: | SOAP::Lite produces invalid content-length header |
The SOAP::Lite server, as used within the Bugzilla server produces an
invalid content-length. The response headers look like this:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2009 08:43:03 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.11 (Fedora)
SOAPServer: SOAP::Lite/Perl/0.710.08
Content-Length: 22226
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/xml
However, when saving the response using Wireshark, I can observe that
the size of the response body is in fact 22235 bytes.
SOAP::Lite should either create no Content-Length header (technically a
violation of the XML-RPC specification, but should be fine for most
clients), or a valid header.
Note, that there is no need to create a content-length header from the
HTTP perspective: My client identifies itself as HTTP/1.1, so chunky
mode could be used.
