Description:
------------
Hi all. I think i found some little bug.
1 of my client use midlet program to comunicate with some php script at my server by POST method. 


Reproduce code:
---------------
This Java program connect to my Apache 1.3.33 web server & get 411 error.
In my logs I get "chunked Transfer-Encoding forbidden" & thats all.
When i dump tcp packets to 80 port from IP of my client i see that there is no 
Content-Length field in request. Thats why, i think, my client get 411 error.
But the same php script & java client program perfectly work at apache 2.0.50 
server.
There is phpinfo from my server:
http://mms2u.ru/a.php
And from my client ex-server:
http://mms2you.ru/a.php

Also i try to test same java program at my homebox. With default apache 2.0.54 
there is no problem and with apache 1.3.33 problem still exist.
There is acess & error logs:

my test homebox apache 2.0.54 server:
10.0.15.8 - - [01/Sep/2005:02:08:30 +0400] "POST http://test/chat/index.php 
HTTP/1.1" 200 35536 "-" "Chat Reader 0.38"

my test homebox apache 1.3.33 server:
[Thu Sep 01 01:53:02 2005] [error] [client 10.0.15.8] chunked Transfer-Encoding 
forbidden: /chat/index.php

HTTP/1.1" 411 357

There is dump of request to apache 1.3.33 server:

And this would be PHP bug because..? (if it works with apache2 but not apache1, doesn't it mean it's just an apache bug?)
 [2005-09-01 15:46 UTC] vitaliy dot okulov at gmail dot com 
I thought thats way too, but:
1 - http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36451
2 - I found code "setup_client_block(r, REQUEST_CHUNKED_ERROR)" only in module for Apache 1.3.x. And  there is no code to process REQUEST_CHUNKED_ERROR in Apache 2.0.x. So i think its a bug or mistake in module for Apache 1.3.x (forget to remove REQUEST_CHUNKED_ERROR) or in module for Apache 2.0.x (forget to add REQUEST_CHUNKED_ERROR).

Because Apache correctly process request without Content-Length field in request i search way how remove this check in php module for Apache 1.3.x.
 [2005-09-01 16:23 UTC] sniper@php.net 
Your external thingie doesn't set content-length and that's bug in PHP because..?

Bacause if php module process without any error request (without Content-Length) for Apache 2.0.x and cant process same request for Apache 1.3.x it`s bug or in module for 1.3 or for 2.0.
Or php module can process request (without Content-Length) for 2.0 & cant for 1.3?

Apparently Apache2 is better.
