Actually, after further investigation I found that this bug was introduced with 1.114 by dmitry, fixing bug #43069. So, if I understood correctly the situation is the following: 1) HTTP stream context does NOT support chunked encoding, so you don't consider it a bug 2) SoapClient currently uses HTTP stream context forcing HTTP/1.1 thus enabling possible chunked encoding result 3) #43069 should then be reopened waiting for a different solution. 3bis) The workaround proposed in the last comment of the bug report works, but as SoapClient is using an unsupported feature, it should be the other way around: by default 1.0 (as it is in PHP 5.2) and then it can be forced to 1.1 php side. IMHO the only clean solution I can see is by implementing the chunked encoding to HTTP context. @William: I'm not sure I understand your reply: Apache#1 (the one running my test code) has nothing to do in all of this, because PHP is opening a raw socket and communicating on its own with Apache#2 (the one outputting the wsdl with chunked encoding). Thus PHP has to deal with this by itself, you cannot consider it a misconfiguration of Apache#2, because it is legitimately using the HTTP protocol. -- Giovanni Giacobbi
