Re: [libmicrohttpd] problems with callack replies

[Christian Grothoff]

Dear Viktor,

Your code snippet looks fine. So I just tried and failed to reproduce
your problem.  I basically simply used Wireshark and the existing code
from here:

https://git.gnunet.org/libmicrohttpd.git/tree/src/examples/http_chunked_compression.c

(Note: I fixed a relevant typo in the example logic that I found when
looking into this, so please use the version from Git master.)

With this, MHD does add the right header *and* proper chunked encoding.
Now, MHD has many options (threading loop logic, etc.) and maybe you are
doing "something" different that triggers a bug in MHD.

Could you please try to modify the above example, moving it closer to
what you do in your code, to see if/when you can trigger the bug with
some reasonably minimal code?

Happy hacking!

Christian
