Problem getting chunked data from gwt servlet.

[Samvel karaxanyan]

Hi, recently I have a problem getting chunked data response from gwt
servlet. So I have a gwt application that uses RPC call to get the
data and now sometimes when getting data from server the data is
chunked and broken. The interesting thing is that on the same RPC call
that data can be broken only once per 10 requests.

The request headers looks something like this

Accept text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
Accept-Encoding gzip, deflate
Accept-Language en,en-us;q=0.5
Cache-Control no-cache
Connection keep-alive
Content-Length 319
Content-Type text/x-gwt-rpc; charset=utf-8
Cookie JSESSIONID=1ml58x6sh3up6
Host 192.168.0.101:8888
Pragma no-cache
Referer http://192.168.0.101:8888/SCC.html?gwt.codesvr=192.168.0.101:9997
User-Agent Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:10.0.2) Gecko/
20100101 Firefox/10.0.2
X-GWT-Module-Base http://192.168.0.101:8888/scc/
X-GWT-Permutation HostedMode

The responce headers are :
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Server: Jetty(6.1.x)

And the data is something unreadable.

Can you at least tell me from where to start searching for a cause of
the problem.

Thanks in Advance

We had the same problem and solved it by disabling HTTP compression on the server.

Not sure if this is a GWT bug...
