I think what was suggested before is to control this behavior by setting "keepAlive" setting. I would not think this is the right way.
I would still want to preserve "keepAlive" functiojnality for all other requests except "long running comet response". So if it is request for a web page, using keepAlive is fine. Now in order to disable chunked encoding for a particular response, I would propose that a developer would set "Connection:close" header. Using connection "close" implies that closing the connection indicates the end of response and chunked encoding is not necessary in this case. > Date: Thu, 6 Jan 2011 12:12:37 -0500 > From: ch...@christopherschultz.net > To: users@tomcat.apache.org > Subject: Re: How to disable chunked encoding for the Http11NioProtocol > connector. > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Ilya, > > On 1/5/2011 4:29 PM, ilya goberman wrote: > > I was thinking more about it.
