MORE INFORMATION

Warning If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

Before you install this fix, you must install Q837441 on the BizTalk Server. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

837441 FIX: The BizTalk Server 2004 HTTP Adapter does not support setting HTTP headers on response from the server

After you install this fix, you must add the DisableChunkEncoding registry value to disable chunked encoding for outbound requests and responses to inbound requests. The registry value is a DWORD type. To disable chunked encoding, set the registry value to 1. By default, the registry value is 0.

For outbound requests, you must add this registry value under each registry key that matches this pattern:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BTSSvc{Host instance GUID}

For inbound requests, you must add this registry value under the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BTSSvc 3.0\HttpReceive

Note If the HttpReceive registry key does not exist, you must create the registry key in the specified location before you can add the DisableChunkEncoding registry value to the registry key.
