[mod_backhand-users] No content-length?
Similar to problem I just posted about earlier, it seems that
content-length headers aren't being transferred from the backhandee and
the backhander.

Are only certain headers passed along, or is there a reason that
content-length isn't preserved?

Curious,
Brad

Brad,

Content-Length should be preserved if the client asks for it. There isn't
much point in sending content-length if you are going to shut the connection
down afterwards anyway. It is always preserved between the two backhand
servers. There was a case that wasn't handled correctly. If the client asks
for 1.1 but doesn't explicitly ask for kepp-alives, it would shut down the
connection.

This has been fixed in CVS too. But, I found that it doesn't trigger with any
of the clients I tried. Which client is triggerring this behaviour for you?
