Amit,
The Transfer-Encoding header is not one which you can just add to a request, and expect it
to work. You should consult the HTTP RFC 2616, to find out what it really means.
In particular, a value of "chunked"
1) only makes sense if the request has a body (which is not the case for a GET
request)
2) requires that this body is sent in a particular way (in chunks, as the name
indicates)
Your servlet is not working in the way you expect, because your are sending an invalid
HTTP request to Tomcat.
If your purpose is just to play around with HTTP headers and check if your servlet works
properly, use Header names starting with "X-" for example.

Hi
Thanks a lot Mark and Andre for your replies.
As per my requirement I want to add Transfer-Encoding in the client request
header and send request to servlet for priniting the headers there. For one
way, I am doing with Apache http server using mod_jk with mod_headers
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
<Location /my-example>
RequestHeader append Transfer-Encoding "chunked"
</Location>
</IfModule>
Here for testing purpose, If I print request.getHeader("transfer-encoding")
in systemout, it comes as "chunked". But I am getting this error in the
browser.
"OK
The requested resource
/my-example/myServlet
does not allow request data with GET requests, or the amount of data
provided in the request exceeds the capacity limit."
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Amit

Did I totally misread the above, or is the OP talking about request
headers, as received by the server from a client request ?
In that case, I would think that if the servlet does not see a
Transfer-Encoding header, it is because the client request does not
contain one.
Yep. I mis-read it. Same issue applies though. Just because a client
sets it, doesn't mean Tomcat will see it.
A quick look at the code doesn't suggest any reason why this wouldn't work.
