title: How to disable transfer-encoding:chunked websphere
body: <p>We have a webservice running on Websphere 6.1 using the IBM JAX-RPC based webservices. Client is sending requests without HTTP header of transfer-encoding:chunked (They specify content-length). The response from websphere always has transfer-encoding:chunked in the HTTP header. I assume this will result in the response being sent in multiple chunks. In a system where the service requester and service provider are separated by many intermediaries (like firewalls and loadbalancers (T1/F5)) this kind of chunking could result in significant latency. </p>
  
  <p>This <a href="http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v6r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.websphere.nd.multiplatform.doc/info/ae/ae/tweb_httprequest_chunking.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">link</a> and this <a href="http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1PK57911" rel="nofollow noreferrer">link</a> talk about request chunking but don't mention anything on response.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to configure websphere to not add the transfer-encoding:chunked in the response of the HTTP header?</p>
