Is there a way to disable chunked encoding support in a browser?

  • Why? Also, you should specify which browser and platform – Pekka Oct 11 '10 at 21:34

    Don't you rather mean "in a server"? :) – bzlm Oct 11 '10 at 21:37
  • And if you do mean "in a server", then the question is, "What platform?" – riwalk Oct 11 '10 at 21:38
  • I know how to do it on the serverside. I was trying to figure out what the performance change would be on same site same page, chunked on vs off. (problem is I dont have access to the site - not mine). Any of these browser platform, Chrome, Firefox, IE – timeitquery Oct 12 '10 at 12:22

    @timeitquery. Turning chunked encoding on / off will not likely make a significant difference. There is no header (that I am aware of) that allows you to request non-chunked encoding, so you are stuck with what the server gives you. – riwalk Oct 12 '10 at 18:00
  • @timeitquery Is this a very large page or something? The question feels rather exotic. – bzlm Oct 13 '10 at 10:48

    Theoretically, if you can make the browser request HTTP/1.0, the server side should disable chunked encoding. – Thomas Kjørnes Jan 14 '11 at 02:10
  • Use an HTTP/1.0 proxy server. – Brad Jul 21 '12 at 13:44
