We are implementing some rest APIs using Apache httpd. We have one API which gives 9k buffer in response. Whenever our response goes over 8k then Apache will append "Transfer-Encoding:chunked" in response header and rest of response header will be discarded by Apache.

I want to disable "Transfer-Encoding:chunked" response header when our response buffer goes over 8K for retaining our useful response headers.

Can any one give me idea?

mod_buffer can cause many responses to turn from chunked encoding to being sent with Content-Length. Generally it will be more efficient for whoever generates the response to buffer as much as needed to determine the length -- but mod_buffer can do it generically.

The reason it works is that mod_buffer stops the headers from being written/committed until the full length is known.
