using zlib
http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/zlib/
and
http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/
with HTTP/1.1
http://sunsite.auc.dk/RFC/rfc/rfc2616.html
I am attempting to send
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Encoding: deflate
(from a home-built web server)
to a client browser that has indicated its willingness to accept this: Ive RFC'd myself and tested the component peices individually . successfully. Headers where n is the size of the deflated data I am applying this deflation to arbitrary mime types and if i had a website to look at that DOES do this successfully Does my interpretation of the RFC as to the format of the chunked and compressed Thanks in advance..
HTTP HEADER FOLLOWS:
GET / HTTP/1.1
Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, application/vnd.ms-excel, application/msword, application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, */*
Accept-Language: en,en-ca;q=0.9,de;q=0.8,fr;q=0.7,it;q=0.6,es;q=0.4,da;q=0.3,he;q=0.2,yi;q=0
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows 95; DigExt)
Host: 127.0.0.1
Connection: Keep-Alive
my interpretation of the RFC leads me to format my HTTP response as:
chunksize n
deflatedData
chunksize n
deflatedData
chunksize 0
maintaining the original mime-type.
I could compare the output to see what I am doing wrong.. or indeed if
my browser is not handling it properly.
output seem correct?
