[Freeswitch-users] Event-List: double Content-Lenght?

[Iñaki Baz Castillo]

Hi, I'm trying to understand the following example in the doc:

  http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Event_List

Upon job completion, server response
----------------------
Content-Length: 625
Content-Type: text/event-plain

Job-UUID: 7f4db78a-17d7-11dd-b7a0-db4edd065621
Job-Command: originate
Job-Command-Arg: sofia/default/1005%20'%26park'
Event-Name: BACKGROUND_JOB
Core-UUID: 42bdf272-16e6-11dd-b7a0-db4edd065621
FreeSWITCH-Hostname: ser
FreeSWITCH-IPv4: 192.168.1.104
FreeSWITCH-IPv6: 127.0.0.1
Event-Date-Local: 2008-05-02%2007%3A37%3A03
Event-Date-GMT: Thu,%2001%20May%202008%2023%3A37%3A03%20GMT
Event-Date-timestamp: 1209685023894968
Event-Calling-File: mod_event_socket.c
Event-Calling-Function: api_exec
Event-Calling-Line-Number: 609
Content-Length: 41

+OK 7f4de4bc-17d7-11dd-b7a0-db4edd065621
----------------------


What is the purpose of the first "Content-Length: 625"? Why not just
send all the headers with no Content-Lenght? (just leave the second
Content-Length:41 which is the length of the job uuid).

So what is the purpose of the first Content-Length? A parser doesn't
need it at all as it can read headers until it finds "Content-Length"
(so it reads N bytes more) or it finds a double \n\n (so event info is
terminated).

Thanks for any clarification.
