Hi Sascha,
To turn off chunking OpenCMIS would have to know how big the request
body is before it sends it. The Content-Length header must be set before
the request body is sent.
To determine the length, the body would have to be generated and stored
somewhere. And here is the issue. The body can be fairly large,
especially if it contains a document. Keeping it in main memory could
become a problem if you want to upload a 5GB video file. So, OpenCMIS
would have to put it into a temporary file and read it again afterwards.
The performance impact would be immense.
To cut a long story short, there is no switch in OpenCMIS to disable
chunking.
You can, however, implement your own HttpInvoker class. This class is
responsible for the HTTP connection. You can implement all these things
that I described above there and make sure that chunking is turned off.
Not sure if that solves your issue, though. You might have the same
problem with other CMIS clients.

Hello together,
is it possible to disable the chunked transfer encoding in Java
OpenCMIS ?
I am asking because our Nginx based Connect-Cluster currently does not
support Chunks and adjusting the Cluster affects our whole public
available systems (also I am not sure if our FW will handle chunks
properly).
On client side I already use non PartialContentStream to avoid chunks
but I also noticed a „Length-Required“ exception when calling the
query discovery service.
So now I am trying to estimate the efforts and benefits of either
adjusting the Nginx cluster or disabling chunks at OpenCMIS (if
possible at all).
Thx in advance.
Cheers
Sascha
