Hi Ronald, Thanks for the reply.
The files are coming out of a database via a servlet custom to the Content Management System we are using. Since raising this post I have discovered that a database setting for the CMC limiting the amount of time an object can be streamed was much to low, I now think this is the underlying cause of file delivery being chunked. I'll post an update after rolling out to live. Many thanks again, Mark. On 18/07/07, Ronald Klop <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Is this static content or served by a custom servlet? If you can set the content-length of the response it shouldn't use chunked encoding. Ronald. PS: I'm not a Tomcat developer, so I could be wrong about this.
