Francois-Xavier Bonnet <f...@apache.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|RESOLVED |REOPENED Resolution|INVALID |--- --- Comment #4 from Francois-Xavier Bonnet <f...@apache.org> --- Thanks for your answers. I had a closer look at the specifications and there is no problem about the keep-alive header. About the "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" header, in my test I am just writing "Hello world" in the response (should be small enough for the buffer), there is no flush so when I call AsyncContext.complete() method the content size is perfectly known and I would expect the server to set the content-length header and not to use chunked content encoding. According to servlet 3.0 specification "The content length is automatically set if the entire response fits inside the response buffer." http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/javax/servlet/http/HttpServlet.html#doGet(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse) Just to explain how I found this issue: I was doing some tests with Apache Benchmark. I was surprised to see that the performance of Tomcat were not good compared to other servlet containers, then I noticed that keep-alive was not working with tomcat while it was with other servlet containers like Jetty. It looks like ab disables keep-alive when the response is chunked. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
