    <p>I have a problem handeling http chunked transfer encoding.</p> <p>I'm using: </p> <ul> <li>apache.</li> <li>mod_wsgi plugin. </li> <li>django.</li> </ul> <p>django, is only capable of handling reqular http request with content-length header field, but when it comes to handling TE (Transfer-Encoding), chunked or gzip, it returns an empty result.</p> <p>I'm thinking of 2 approaches:</p> <ol> <li>Making some modification to django.wsgi python file</li> <li>Add some middleware python file to django, to intercept any chunked http request,convert it to requelar http request with content-length header field, then, pass it to django, where it can handle it nicely.</li> </ol> <p>Anybody can help with any of the above 2 options (more options are most welcome of course) </p> <p>Thanks!</p> <hr> <p>This is an extention to my question after Graham's first anwer:</p> <p>First of all, thanks for your quick response. The client being used is Axis, which is a part of another company's system communicating with ours. I had <code>WSGIChunkedRequest On</code> set, I also made some modifications to my wsgi wrapper like this: </p> <p><code>def application(environ, start_response):</code> <i> </p> <pre><code> if environ.get("mod_wsgi.input_chunked") == "1": stream = environ["wsgi.input"] print stream print 'type: ', type(stream) length = 0 for byte in stream: length+=1 #print length environ["CONTENT_LENGTH"] = len(stream.read(length)) django_application = get_wsgi_application() return django_application(environ, start_response) </code></pre> <p></i></p> <p>but it gives me those errors (extracted from apache's error.log file):</p> <pre><code>[Sat Aug 25 17:26:07 2012] [error] &lt;mod_wsgi.Input object at 0xb6c35390&gt; [Sat Aug 25 17:26:07 2012] [error] type: &lt;type 'mod_wsgi.Input'&gt; [Sat Aug 25 17:26:08 2012] [error] [client xxxxxxxxxxxxx] mod_wsgi (pid=27210): Exception occurred processing WSGI script '/..../wsgi.py'. [Sat Aug 25 17:26:08 2012] [error] [client xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Traceback (most recent call last): [Sat Aug 25 17:26:08 2012] [error] [client xxxxxxxxxxxxx] File "/..../wsgi.py", line 57, in application [Sat Aug 25 17:26:08 2012] [error] [client xxxxxxxxxxxxx] for byte in stream: [Sat Aug 25 17:26:08 2012] [error] [client xxxxxxxxxxxxx] IOError: request data read error </code></pre> <p>What Am I doing wrong?!</p>
