chunked-encoding

I'm using apache HttpClient to post several files to server. Here's the code: public static HttpResponse stringResponsePost(String urlString, String content, byte[] image, HttpContext localContext, HttpClient httpclient) throws Exception { URL url = new URL(URLDecoder.decode(urlString, "utf-8")); URI u = url.toURI(); HttpPost post = new HttpPost(); post.setURI(u); MultipartEntity reqEntity = new MultipartEntity(); StringBody sb = new StringBody(content, HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE_JSON, Charset.forName("UTF-8")); ByteArrayBody ib = new ByteArrayBody(image, HTTP_CONTENT_TYPE_JPEG, "image"); reqEntity

I am writing an HTTP parser for a transparent proxy. What is stumping me is the Trailer: mentioned in the specs for Transfer-Encoding: chunked . What does it look like? Normally, a HTTP chunked ends like this. 0\r\n \r\n What I am confused about is how to detect the end of the chunk if there is some sort of trailing headers... UPDATE: I believe that a simple \r\n\r\n i.e. an empty line is enough to detect the end of trailing headers... Is that correct? appleleaf Below is a copy of an example trailer I copied from The TCP/IP Guide site . As we can see, if we want to use trailer header, we need

Is there any way to suppress the spinners and "transferring data" indicators that browsers show when a web page is loading? I'm loading a document into a hidden iframe that will take a long time (10's of minutes). I don't want/need the user to be aware of this - it's just confusing to them to have the page look like it's still loading. SO I'd like to be able to disable all of the "page loading" activity that browsers normally show. I eventually found a solution that will work for us. Instead of loading the document into a hidden iframe, we're using the "htmlfile" object described here: http:/

I'm building an API on Rails version 4.1.7/Nginx that responds to request from an iOS app. We're seeing some weird caching on the client and we think it has something to do with a small difference in the response that Rails is sending back. My questions... 1) I want to understand why, for the exact same request (with only the Authorization header value changed), Rails sends back transfer-encoding: chunked sometimes and Content-Length: <number> sometimes? I thought that maybe it had something to do with the response size, but in the example responses whose headers I've pasted below, the data

I am decoding http packets. And I faced a problem that chunk problem. When I get a http packet it has a header and body. When transefer-encoding is chunked I don't know what to do ? Is there a useful API or class for dechunk the data in JAVA ? And if someone , experienced about http decoding , please show me a way how to do this ? BalusC Use a fullworthy HTTP client like Apache HttpComponents Client or just the Java SE provided java.net.URLConnection ( mini tutorial here ). Both handles it fully transparently and gives you a "normal" InputStream back. HttpClient in turn also comes with a

I've checked for other questions relevant to this, but the only answer is "Use ASIHTTPRequest " as this is no longer being developed I wanted to ask what alternatives people are using, whilst working on our SDK I came across a lot of strange behaviour in NSURLConnection when receiving data from the server. We tracked it down to the fact that NSURLConnection doesn't deal well with responses in chunked-encoding. Or at least so we read in this question here NSURLConnection and "chunked" transfer-coding Some developers we were talking to say it gets better in iOS 5, we need to make sure that our

I wrote a raw TCP client for HTTP/HTTPS requests, however I'm having problems with chunked encoding responses. HTTP/1.1 is requirement therefore I should support it. Raw TCP is a business requirement that I need to keep, therefore I can't switch to .NET HTTPWebRequest/HTTPWebResponse However if there is way to convert a RAW HTTP Request/Response into HTTPWebRequest/HTTPWebResponse that'd work. The best place to start is the http 1.1 specification , which lays out how chunking works. Specifically section 3.6.1. 3.6.1 Chunked Transfer Coding The chunked encoding modifies the body of a message in
