+# Clients like xDavv5 on Android, or Cyberduck, use chunked requests.
+# When FastCGI or FPM is used with apache, requests arrive to Nextcloud without any content.
+# This leads to the creation of empty files.
+# The following directive will force the problematic requests to be buffered before being forwarded to Nextcloud.
+# This way, the "Transfer-Encoding" header is removed, the "Content-Length" header is set, and the request content is proxied to Nextcloud.
+# Here are more information about the issue:
