VCenter 4.0 chunks data even with maxBufferedResponseBytes greater than 200MB

[prince0206]

Hello All,

I have some problem wit VCenter 4.0, following is the problem... Will you be able to help me out or any pointer where I can get help?

We had noticed that the VCenter 4.0 chunks data in response to client request. As per VMware recomendation we have increased the 'maxBufferedResponseBytes' to >200MB but still we recieve the response in chunked format. Can some body help on this regard?. we have some 70Vms on our data center.

Thanks

I saw your other post a bit back as well regarding the missing content-length header. I see the chunked encoding as a good thing, it means compression which will help performance with lower latency connections.

Why not just update your application to support the chunked encoding? You can also try changing the accept-encoding header to something like 'compress;q=0, gzip;q=0, *;q=0'. You should be able to do some quick searches on disabling compression. I'm not sure that all web servers (VIM) will honor the accept-encoding, but you could try that.

Still, I would look at updating your application to work with compression. It usually provides significant performance improvements.
