答复: How to disable chunked transfer-encoding

[Zhang,Tony]

Hi

Oh, gotcha , I did enable gzip

So, for instance, If I put a squid in front of Nginx which is gzip enabled, the chunked header will be disappeared, correct?

And my question is , will the chunked header do performance impact on static content serving, that's my concern, and considering adding squid like things in front of Nginx?


Thx
Jie

Support for chunked encoding is required for HTTP/1.1 clients,
and nginx doesn't use it for HTTP/1.0 clients (as required by RFC
2616 too), so it should be safe.

But the question is - why chunked used in your case.  It's not
used by nginx for static content with known length.  Possible
reasons include SSI processing truned on and/or gzip enabled
(since resulting length of the response isn't known while sending
headers, and chunked transfer encoding is the only way to keep
connections alive in this case).
