http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12783 Coyote Connector and HTTP 1.0 Keep-Alive Summary: Coyote Connector and HTTP 1.0 Keep-Alive Product: Tomcat 4 Version: 4.0.4 Final Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows NT/2K Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Connector:Coyote HTTP/1.1 AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] User Agent: IE (version 4.0+) Type of Request: POST Protocol: HTTP/1.0 The servlet is properly setting the content-length. If these conditions are met, IE will block for the period of time specified in the connectionTimeout parameter. This is due to the following lines in Http11Processor.prepareResponse method: (Aprox lines: 857 - 862) int contentLength = response.getContentLength(); if (contentLength != -1) { outputBuffer.addActiveFilter (outputFilters[Constants.IDENTITY_FILTER]); contentDelimitation = true; } And a little further down: (Aprox lines: 880 - 884) if ((entityBody) && (!contentDelimitation)) { // Mark as close the connection after the request, and add the // connection: close header keepAlive = false; } By setting countDelimitation to true the keepAlive variable remains true and the Coyote Connector will try to reuse the connection. Unfortunately IE doesn't display the response but rather waits for the connection to be closed (Even though IE sent Keep-Alives:True in the headers). The current workaround involves not setting the content length for HTTP/1.0 connections. A quick fix inside the coyote code would be to detect the User-Agent and if is IE and the protocol is HTTP/1.0 close the connection. Note that it works fine if instead of POST a GET is sent. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
