Firefox and Apache
Came across this frustrating fact, while trying to connect to Tomcat proxied behind Apache though an Ajax connection… and continuously getting “page not found”:
- Firefox doesn’t pass the content-length header on POST requests.
- Apache has a flag “SecFilterEngine” which if set to ‘On’ would tell Apache to reject requests without a content-length header.
Dilemma:
- Shouldn’t Firefox send the content-length header?
- Or, why should Apache demand it?
