Hi forum
It has come to our attention during our migration from mod_plsql to ORDS, that ORDS only exposes the HTTP header "Content-Length", if you're calling wpg_docload.download_file. See Doc ID 2125804.1. We have a lot client programs, both .NET applications and smartphone apps, which expect to be able to get "Content-Length" from the server, which ORDS has removed. Those applications fail against ORDS for this reason. We use Content-Length mostly for building progress bars while downloading big documents from the server.
By analyzing the HTTP headers returned by ORDS, I notice the X-DB-Content-length header instead. I have not been able to find any documentation on this header. What exactly the value it returns represents. It seems like an Oracle specific header. My question simply is: will this value be able to replace the Content-Length header?
Thanks in advance
