Edgar,
I have not heard back on you you prefer to receive capture files, so I am attaching the two captures to this e'mail.
Capture BranchCache-WinFourth-Web.cap shows what happens when IE8 requests a peerdist-encoded file from an IIS server running on W2K8r2. In this case, the content is already cached by other Win7 clients on the local LAN. Frame
#9 contains the Content Information.
My copy of Wireshark does not have a parser for Peerdist responses, which is why I created the analysis by hand.
Capture BranchCache-CRHTest-Web.cap shows my test environment. Frame #8 has the Peerdist response. Note that the client is Firefox, which does not
(yet) support Peerdist encoding. As a result, my test program on the server side ignores the HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING header and sends a Peerdist response anyway.
My test capture is really irrelevant. The question has more to do with the content returned by IIS. I expect the *dwReadBytesInLastSegment* field to include a count of the number of content bytes represented in the last segment. Instead, I always get zero.
