Hello,

just for clarification: the difference is observed between a server running on Windows and a server running on Linux? Or is it between requests from different clients?

What is the transfer encoding being used in both cases? Also note, that you access the length of the stringified content using this type of access, which may be a problem for non-textual content (all binary format files, including Office / PDF formats). You should rather use

field.content.size‍

as this should not perform an implcit conversion.

First of all, thanks for your prompt reply.
The code is the same and the difference is observed between a server running on Windows and a server running on Linux (either with Alfresco 3.3.g or 4.0.d).

Using

field.content.size‍

we always obtain -1 as result, no matter if the file is binary or text.

More precisely on Linux we obtain the correct value with a text file and a value/1.7 with a binary file.
Thanks,
Andrea
