Update: in order to temporarily accommodate clients that don’t properly support automatically handling “Transfer-Encoding: chunked”, we’re temporarily rolling back this change, so that these links will no longer use “Transfer-Encoding: chunked” and will instead return “Content-Length” on HTTP/1.1. We will begin rolling that out starting around 2/17. That will be in place until around 3/1. At that point, we will begin using “Transfer-Encoding: chunked” and no longer returning “Content-Length” on HTTP/1.1 again.


Going forward, please ensure that your clients are able to automatically handle both chunked encoding and non-chunked encoding automatically.

    Then I'll set it like this:

     

    if ($fileSize = $helper->getFilesize()) {
    $this->getResponse()->setHeader('Content-Length', $fileSize);
} else {
    $this->getResponse()->setHeader('Transfer-Encoding', 'chunked');
}

    Update: the team has been able to complete some further updates to our infrastructure to be able to support the previous non-chunked behavior going forward indefinitely. That means that we plan to continue returning Content-Length (and not 'Transfer-Encoding: chunked') in the future and will not be reverting this as previously planned. (Regardless, for HTTP compatibility in general, we still recommend you make sure your HTTP clients support both types.) Hope this helps!

    I noticed, since around September/October 2023, downloads really often (8 in 10 times) are interrupted at different size. And just now I remembered this issue.

     

    Did you change something again?
