Name

HTTH-898 — The client has specified request body length incorrectly

Severity

W (warning)

Message text

Both Content-Length header and chunked transfer encoding in request

Description

If a HTTP request contains a request body, its length can be determined either by Content-Length header, or by using chunked transfer encoding. These two methods cannot be combined, because such a combination leads to ambiguity. If a client produces such an incorrect request, the proxy deletes Content-Length and expects chunked body.
