hello.

i used own php script to connect to PVE. for now auth is ok, but in any post it returns "
Code:
HTTP/1.1 501 chunked transfer encoding not supportedCache-Control: max-age=0Connection: closeDate: Fri, 12 Jan 2024 16:34:33 GMTPragma: no-cacheServer: pve-api-daemon/3.0Expires: Fri, 12 Jan 2024 16:34:33 GMT
"

for example:
PHP:
       curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"https://myhost:8006/api2/json/nodes/ps116/qemu/118/status/stop")
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, ["CSRFPreventionToken: {$mytokenhere}"]);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIE, "PVEAuthCookie="{$mycookiedata}");
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
   curl_exec($ch)

the same request to:
PHP:
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"https://myhost:8006/api2/json/access/ticket");
     $pf = 'username='. urlencode($this->username).'@pve&password='.urlencode($this->password);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $pf);
   curl_exec($ch)
works fine... (actually i get token and cookie)

what changed?
not working on PVE 7.4.17 and PVE 8.1.3 after host updates

P.S. there is no errors in script. it was copied from my src and changed like IPs, names,etc. so there can be mistakes)

actually, i don't know what was actualy changed...
after few days of tries i found solution:

i replaced
PHP:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
with
PHP:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");

In any case i think, this has to be reviewed by proxmox dev team, as chunked transfer is mandatory of HTTP/1.1
and it's a bit confusing according to RFC2616 https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2616#page-25
