We're still trying to deal with this. As it turns out, Passenger is
adding the "chunked" encoding method header to the output. We no longer
get a timeout at least (good.) But when libURL receives the data, it
passes the entire unaltered string to my script (bad) which includes the
chunking info bytes at the front of the string. I looked at the recently
revised libURL script and if the LC engine is earlier than 7.0 it does
return all the data intact without any changes (if it's 7.0 or higher,
it does some unicode conversion but nothing else.) We're running this
app in 6.5.7 so the data is passed to my script exactly as it is received.
My script is looking for the initial bytes that indicate a gz file and
it can't decompress the string that it's receiving. I could remove those
initial chunk-indicator bytes before trying to decompress, but shouldn't
libURL remove those first before sending back the data? Is this
something I should report? Or is it something my app should just deal with?
Meanwhile, back on the server, we're trying to figure out how to avoid
Passenger's addition of the "chunking" header. Does anyone know of a
related header we can include that will make Passenger think we want a
content-length instead?
