Content-Length missing in HTTP request

thanks for the suggestions. And yes i am concerned about the requests not having Content-Length in the header.

The client app cannot be changed so easily. And that is why i wnated to come up with an easier solution through irules...

 

Concerning your suggestion. Did you mean something like this in your previous reply?

 

 

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {

 

i can put here 1, 2, 512, 700 the results dont change...

 

TCP::collect 2

 

}

 

when CLIENT_DATA {

 

set clength [expr {[TCP::payload length] - 189}]

 

}

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

HTTP::header replace "Content-Length" $clength

 

}

 

 

It returns some value now. But i am not sure though this is the way this should be done...

 

Can i be sure the header is always 189 bytes?

 

How do i know the value i should provide to TCP::collect. It seems, no matter what value i put, i always get the same result.
