Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 978387
Bad IPP responses with version 2.0 (collection handling bug)
Last modified: 2014-10-14 03:31:14 EDT
Description of problem: When using IPP/2.0 (from e.g. Fedora 19), a bug in the IPP writing code for 'collection' attribute types can cause incorrect data to be sent back in response to, for example, a printer attributes query. In particular, the IPP data sent is shorter than the HTTP Content-Length header advertises, causing the IPP/2.0 client to wait for the rest of the data and, since it is not forthcoming, time out. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cups-1.4.2-50.el6_4.4 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.From Fedora 19: lpstat -h theserver/version=2.0 -s Actual results: 60s delay for each IPP request. Expected results: No delay.
