Re: [jetty-dev] Content Length in Request Log(NCSARequestLog)
Thanks Joakim for your reply.

I agree with your point, but with other web servers like Glassfish, Tomcat etc.when the access log is enabled they do log the content length even when the content length header is missing in web app response.

Is there is any workaround available?

Seeing as the logging on RequestLog occurs once the response is committed (in other words when response headers are sent), then the content-length in your scenario would likely be unset.

If you were to use a streaming response, with chunked encoding, or respond with partial content ranges, etc... then the Content Length would also be not be what you hope it would be.
Also, what would we log if the response contained a content-length value, but the response was terminated before the entire response content was finished being sent?

The logging of content length is what the response headers itself stated, not what was actually sent.

Hello Developers,

In my code to enable the access log I have added NCSARequestLog handler, which generates the request log with all the necessary information.

With respect to content length header I am getting this only if the web application set this header in part of their response.  If the web application does not set the content length header then it is missing in the request log.

Do I need to add some extra code to enable this or I am missing something else.

Thanks in advance for looking into this.

Yours,
Jhony
