I'd like to get the zserver-content-length.patch createed by dunny in this collector issue:
http://www.zope.org/Collectors/Zope/1866/collector_issue_contents
merged into the Zope 2.7/2.8 branches and the trunk. It ensures that certain classes of responses (e.g. 304) correctly leave out the content-length header. Can anyone seee a valid reason for not merging it in?
Are we sure that we won't be breaking the rather large possible set of installed servers running behind Apache 1.3.x with the bug for which adding the content length was a workaround? If the header only affects Safari / Konqueror (in practice), then this is *not* a pure win, if there are a significant number of affected servers in production. We should probably look at adding a zope.conf switch for this behavior, and leave the header in place by default for 2.7.x and 2.8.x. We could default it off for the trunk, with a commented-out entry showing how (and why) to reenable it, and deprecate that setting through 2.10 or something.
