Benoit Chesneau 2191832b8d fix: drop body framing on HEAD/204/304 even when framework set it
RFC 9110 forbids a body for HEAD requests and for 1xx/204/304 status
codes. PR #3614 stopped gunicorn from auto-applying chunked encoding
in those cases, but if the application explicitly emitted a
Content-Length or Transfer-Encoding header (and possibly body bytes),
gunicorn still passed them through. Now strip both headers, force
plain framing, and discard any body the app emits.

pip install gunicorn
gunicorn myapp:app --workers 4

For ASGI applications (FastAPI, Starlette):

gunicorn myapp:app --worker-class asgi

Features

  • WSGI support for Django, Flask, Pyramid, and any WSGI framework
  • ASGI support for FastAPI, Starlette, Quart
  • HTTP/2 support (beta) with multiplexed streams
  • Dirty Arbiters (beta) for heavy workloads (ML models, long-running tasks)
  • uWSGI binary protocol for nginx integration
  • Multiple worker types: sync, gthread, gevent, eventlet, asgi
