http - question about size (bytes) of webpage retrieved using erlang -
i have got question http:request(...)
in erlang.
when retrieve page using above command (for example main page of apache webserver), have in headers list value {"content-length","177"}
, seems right, because using byte_size(...) on body of page same result..this suggests me size of page 177 bytes.
i checked result using tools -> page info
option in firefox, says size 146 bytes...can tell me why there difference?
in http specification (rfc 2616) section 14. definition of content-lenght
header:
14.13 content-length
the content-length entity-header field indicates size of entity-body, in decimal number of octets, sent recipient or, in case of head method, size of entity-body have been sent had request been get.
so either firefox wrong, got different content or shows size different definition of "size".
