I have been playing around with parsing HTTP in user-space and I see with some research that there are several ways to send data following the HTTP header and \r\n\r\n. Obviously, content-length is not always used, so what are the other methods and how do you determine the size of the data being sent before hand if not streaming?
I did see content-encoding, chunking and so on, I'm just a bit lost with the overall dynamicness of the protocol in this case. What is the sure fire way of determining the amount of data to be sent (when obviously not streaming something never ending)?
Really appreciate the help.
