[erlang-bugs] Inets-5.9.3 Content-length:0 HTTP/1.1 Bug

[Anton Nikitin]

Hello,

I'm facing the following issue, when executing the following code with inets-5.9.3:

inets:start().
F = 
    fun() -> 
        io:format("Started thread~n"), 
        [
           begin 
               io:format("Response ~p~n", [httpc:request('get', {"http://nikitin.reksoft.ru:7080/TestErlang/testerlang", []}, [{version, "HTTP/1.1"}], [])]), 
               timer:sleep(1000) 
         end || _ <- lists:seq(1, 5)] end.

[spawn(F) || _ <- lists:seq(1, 500)].

According to the TCP traces everything is fine.
The HTTP/1.1 request:

GET /TestErlang/testerlang HTTP/1.1
te: 
host: nikitin.reksoft.ru:7080
connection: keep-alive

The HTTP/1.1 response:

HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Length: 0
Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2013 15:15:31 GMT

But some of the reponses are formed wrongly in this way: 

Response {ok,{{"HTTP/1.1",404,"Not Found"},
              [{"date","Mon, 11 Feb 2013 15:16:19 GMT"},
               {"server","Apache-Coyote/1.1"},
               {"content-length","0"},
               {"content-type","text/plain"}],
              "HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found\r\nServer: Apache-Coyote/1.1\r\nContent-Type: text/plain\r\nContent-Length: 0\r\nDate: Mon, 11 Feb 2013 15:16:19 GMT\r\n\r\nHTTP/1.1 404 Not Found\r\nServer: Apache-Coyote/1.1\r\nContent-Type: text/plain\r\nContent-Length: 0\r\nDate: Mon, 11 Feb 2013 15:16:19 GMT\r\n\r\n"}}

The bug can be reproduced in a multi-thread case only. Workaround: HTTP/1.1 server responds with some content body and content length is not zero.

Best Regards,
Anton Nikitin
