chunked-encoding

Is a HTTP Content-Length over 2GB or 4GB supported by modern webservers? How about the chunks in HTTP Chunked Transfer Encoding? Can an individual HTTP chunk exceed 2GB in length? I need to know to use 32-bit integers or 64-bit integers in my code. From what I have gathered, 64-bit limits are new, especially in the web browsers. Chrome supports them, Opera maybe, and I see a patch for Firefox that hasn't landed yet. I've read posts that say IE returns negative Content-Length , which means it's likely to use 32-bits. 64-bit HTTP lengths looks like the future, but we aren't there yet. 来源： https:

I want to avoid ever getting chunked encoded HTTP server response from (conforming) HTTP server. I am reading RFC 2616 section " 14.39 TE " and it seems to me that I could avoid it by specifying TE: chunked;q=0 . If I cannot avoid the chunked encoding, I want do avoid the trailers. Will specifying TE: trailers;q=0 work? From rfc2616 - Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1 in section 3.6.1 Chunked Transfer Coding : All HTTP/1.1 applications MUST be able to receive and decode the "chunked" transfer-coding, and MUST ignore chunk-extension extensions they do not understand. This is still the

Basically my response headers contain Transfer-encoding=chunked, Trailer=[some trailer I want to send say e.g "SomeTrailer"] Once I'm done writing the data to the Servlet outputstream, I'm writing the trailer "SomeTrailer:[value]", but this is not being parsed by the httpclient correctly. The httpclient considers the whole of inputstream (including the trailer) as a single chunk. I've also tried writing the trailer in a response header after the data has been written to the outputstream but without success. Please help I haven't found any good sources on this. I ended up writing a simple

I cannot seem to get a definitive answer on the following question (Googling mostly and reading HTTP/1.1 specs): When 'chunked' transfer encoding is used, why does the server need to write out BOTH the chunk size in bytes and have the subsequent chunk data end with CRLF. Doesn't this make sending binary data "CRLF-unclean" and the method a bit redundant? What if the data has a 0x0A followed by 0x0D in it somewhere (i.e. these are actually part of the data)? Is the client expected to adhere to the chunk size explicitly provided at the head of the chunk or choke on the first CRLF it encounters

Can some experts explain the differences between the two? Is it true that chunked is a streaming protocol and multipart is not? What is the benefit of using multipart? jayadev More intuitively, Chunking is a way to send a single message from server to client, where the server doesn't have to wait for the entire response to be generated but can send pieces (chunks) as and when it is available. Now this happens at data transfer level and is oblivious to the client. Appropriately it is a 'Transfer-Encoding' type. While Multi-part happens at the application level and is interpreted at the
