RE: remove "content-length" item from the http header of HttpServletResponse

[Hanks Wang (hanwan)]

Hi Leech,

Thanks for your reply.

Get to know tomcat will remove the item automatically if I use
chunked-encoding by invoking response.flushBuffer().

I don't know much about the Filter , But could you please tell me
whether I can change the item's order by it?

Eg:
Originally the header is :
Server: apache
Accept-Range: none

Can I use Filter to change the header item's sequence and modify it to
Accept-Range: no
Server: apache
?

Thanks
Han

Create a Filter, map it to the relevant requests, and in your doFilter()
method do something like this:
chain.doFilter(
   request, 
   new HttpServletResponseWrapper(httpres) {
      public void setContentType(String type) {
      }
      public void setHeader(String name, String value) {
         if (!name.equalsIgnoreCase("content-length")) {
            super.setHeader(name, value);
         }
      }
      public void addHeader(java.lang.String name, java.lang.String
value) {
         if (!name.equalsIgnoreCase("content-length")) {
            super.addHeader(name, value);
         }
      }
      public void setIntHeader(java.lang.String name, int value) {
         if (!name.equalsIgnoreCase("content-length")) {
            super.setIntHeader(name, value);
         } 
      }
      public void addIntHeader(java.lang.String name, int value) {
         if (!name.equalsIgnoreCase("content-length")) {
            super.addIntHeader(name, value);
         }
      }
   }           
);

Hi all,
 
All http response generated by tomcat owns a http header item
"content-length".
 
How can I remove the item from the header of httpServletResponse? 
 
The reason is generate chunked http response, according the RFC, there
should be no content-length item in http header when response is
chunked-encoding.
 
Thanks a lot!
Han
