Name

HTTH-025 — Invalid method number in parsed request line

Severity

X (panic)

Message text

Invalid method number %d

Description

HTTP proxy perform thogough checking of the HTTP protocol. It parses incoming data and builds an internal representation. The internal representation is used for making decisions (it is compared with ACLs) and then a valid HTTP representation is build from it and sent out.

This message indicates that there is an invalid method identifier stored in the internal representation. It is a critical condition causing process termination, because proxy should not generate an invalid value internally and parsing incoming data should always yield a known method number, a special unknown method identifier, or generate an error, but producing any other value is forbidden.
