When inspecting the HTTP responses of the DicomWeb Plugin I found the plugin to respond with close delimited HTTP entities.
Is there a specific reason why you do not send a “Content-Length” header or using chunked entities?
Wouldn’t this enable more efficient use of resources like memory and re-using connections?

- no chunk, no close, no size. Assume close to signal end

Hello,
The “Content-Length” HTTP header is not set in multipart answers, as the size of the individual parts is unknown in advance.

Hi Sébastien, I see. Thanks for the explanation.
One more thing related to the header.
Wouldn’t it per [https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2387#page-5](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2387#page-5) be correct to put the type parameter in double quotes?
If I consume the response of the DicomWeb plugin with akka-http, it gives a respective error.
I think it should be:
Content-Type: multipart/related; type= **“application/dicom”** ; boundary=5217EE14-94A0-4C25-AF11-14547AEC301E
Correct?

Hello,
Indeed, this has been fixed by the following changeset that is pending in the mainline, and that will be part of forthcoming Orthanc 1.4.3:
