HttpApi server can't read chunked request

[pavelmash]

Current implementation of THttpApiServer always expect Content-Length header to be present - https://github.com/synopse/mORMot/blob/master/SynCrtSock.pas#L9307

In case of Transfer-Encoding: chunked content length not present and we got an empty request body.

Command to reproduce:

curl -H "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" -H "Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8" -d "chunk of data" http://localhost:8881/anyUri

So how do we fix this?

[pavelmash]

For a while I setup an nginx as a reverse proxy (on windows we usually not use it) and enable request buffering on nginx level. In such configuration nginx transform chunked HTTP request into usual request with Content-Length header. So such work-aroud can be used. Let's keep this issue open just to know what problem exists..

Fair enough.

I will close it until we really need this feature.
And in mORMot 2 I guess.
