in reply to EOF problem with Dancer streaming proxy

I've patched Dancer locally to not add the Content-Length header for streamed resources that don't have a content length. If I remember correctly, Dancer forces some headers on every response even if they are not needed or even harmful.

I'm not sure what the proper response for streamed, non-delimited content types like text/event-stream should be but maybe someone can divine that from the standards...

    Strange. I am using Dancer 1.3202, the same as the version of the source you linked to, but wget doesn't show a Content-Length header as being present:
    $ wget -S http://foo/bar.pdf --2017-01-12 15:43:26-- http://foo/bar.pdf Resolving foo Connecting to foo:80... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2017 14:43:26 GMT Server: Apache/2.4.10 (Debian) Content-Type: application/pdf Content-Disposition: inline; filename="bar.pdf" Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=100 Connection: Keep-Alive Transfer-Encoding: chunked Length: unspecified [application/pdf]
