Problem:
Extra characters showing up in some content delivered from tomcat. I believe
they are from the JK connector when it breaks up the content into 8k
packets.
Setup:
Tomcat 5.5 -> JK 1.2.30 -> SunOne 6.1sp11
So you're using mod_jk 1.2.30 to connect Tomcat 5.5 and SunOne?
I tested using Apache2 and the problem does not show up there. Using apache
is not an option here.
Okay.
Tomcat to web server through JK connector, same for Sun One and Apache
Is this data /from/ Tomcat /to/ Sun One, or from Sun One /to/ Tomcat?
That is, are we looking at a request or a response? It kind of looks
like a response, but I just want to be sure.

Why are the hex offsets different? Differing standard headers? Again,
can you post the whole response?

Are all of these dumps from the same response, but at different points
in the process?
I can see that there is a "1ff8" (in text) in that last dump. What is that?
It appears that some component is switching the Transfer-encoding to
"chunked". Do you know if that's intentional?
The first snippet is from between the web server and tomcat through the JK
connector. This looks the same for either Apache or SunOne.
The thing to note is line 00c0 where the hex is 1f f8.
Is that a Greek Omicron? Or something else?
The second snippet is when a browser hits Apache. The thing to note is line
0130 where the hex is 0d 0a 0d 0a. (carriage return, line feed, carriage
return, line feed)
The CR LF CR LF seems to be more likely to be correct.
The third snippet is when a browser hits SunOne for the same file. Here on
line 0130 there is 0d 0a 31 66 66 38 0d 0a, notice the extra 4 characters
between the carriage return/line feeds.
Those 4 extra characters are likely to be the chunk size. 31 66 66 38
is, well, "1ff8", which is 792 in decimal. So, the chunk size is 792
bytes. Did you get 792 bytes after the next CR LF? Again, a complete
response would be helpful in determining what's happening.
And that is where my problem lies. These characters 1ff8 are showing up in
the body of the content and is causing errors.
Technically speaking, this is not content: it's header. Your client is
misinterpreting the data it's receiving from the server.
Take a look at http://www.httpwatch.com/httpgallery/chunked/ - the page
is chunked with each line of text in a separate chunk. I think it will
demonstrate what I'm talking about. If you can't view it any other way,
you can do this:
$ telnet www.httpwatch.com 80> temp.out
GET /httpgallery/chunked/
Connection closed by foreign host.
$ less temp.out
You should see content like this:
[snip]
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store
Pragma: no-cache
Expires: -1
Content-Type: text/html

[and so on]

[the 0 indicates the last chunk, which contains no data].
Is this what you're observing, here? If so, I think it's standard
"chunked" response encoding.
