How to disable chunked encoding for JSON responses

问题:

I'm returning an array from a controller method in Laravel. Laravel interprets this to mean I want to send JSON, which is great, but it doesn't set the Content-Length and instead uses Transfer-Encoding: chunked.

My responses are tiny, so I don't want to chunk them. How can I disable chunked encoding + enable Content-Length?

I'm using nginx for the server, if relevant.

回答1:

My solution is adding content-length headers to the response, then chunked-transfer will be replaced

    $responseJson = json_encode($response);

    $headers = [
        "Content-Length" => strlen($responseJson),
    ];

    return response($responseJson, 200, $headers);

you can try it with postman

for JSON content, just add content type in headers

    $headers = [
        "Content-Length" => strlen($responseJson),
        "Content-Type" => "application/json",
    ];
