My server version is as follows on my dev machine:
Apache/2.2.21 (Win32) mod_fcgid/2.3.6
I have been testing HttpURLConnection
as my project requires easy streaming capabilties. I have read a great synopsis from @BalusC on how to use the class.
Using java.net.URLConnection to fire and handle HTTP requests
The trouble I am currently having is when setting setChunkedStreamingMode
. Regardless of what I set it to my stream doesn't seem to make it to the server the data stream is empty when my server api method/connection is called/made. However, if I remove it, it works fine.
I have seen another person with a similar issue:
Java/Android HttpURLConnection setChunkedStreamingMode not working with all PHP servers
But with no real resolution. I am unable to set it to setFixedLengthStreamingMode
simply because the content (json) is variable in length.
This is NOT OK. I potentially will be transfering very large quantities of data and hence cannot have the data stored in memory.
My question is, how can I get setChunkedStreamingMode to play nice? Is it a server setup issue or can it be fixed in code?
EDIT I have now tested my code on my production server and it works no problem. I would however still like to know why my Apache server on my local machine fails. Any help is still much appreciated.
