From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021207 Phoenix/0.5 Description of problem: when querying a http/1.1 server, which responds with "Transfer-Encoding: identity" without the "Content-Length:" header, the library fails to read the body of the request. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.0.9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: GET /OpenMap HTTP/1.1 Host: mapdb.srv.com Actual Results: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Map: default on port 54873 Date: Fri, 17 Jan 2003 21:51:30 GMT Server: Jetty/3.1.7 (AIX 4.3 ppc) Servlet-Engine: Jetty/3.1 (JSP 1.1; Servlet 2.2; java 1.3.1) Content-Type: text/xml Transfer-Encoding: identity Expected Results: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Map: default on port 54873 Date: Fri, 17 Jan 2003 21:51:30 GMT Server: Jetty/3.1.7 (AIX 4.3 ppc) Servlet-Engine: Jetty/3.1 (JSP 1.1; Servlet 2.2; java 1.3.1) Content-Type: text/xml Transfer-Encoding: identity <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <mapconnector> <map-name>default</map-name> <map-port>54873</map-port> </mapconnector> Additional info: with my patch the response also includes the xml document that is sent to the client. according to Rfc2616(3.6.2+4.4) a Content-Length header is not presentif "Transfer-Encoding: identity" is specified and such justifies this small patch. see: http://www.penguin.at0.net/~fredo/files/libghttp-1.0.9-transfer-identity.patch

I did some more investigation - we don't actually ship libghttp any more in the FC devel tree; as such, I don't think we're going to respin prior versions for this, and there's no next release to fix it for. I went to file this upstream at gnome.org, and discovered that libghttp is unmaintained upstream there as well; they aren't accepting new reports for it. As such, closing WONTFIX.
