HTTP_REQUEST_DATA is triggered only when you have something similar in your irule :

    if {[HTTP::header "Content-Length"] ne "" && [HTTP::header "Content-Length"] <= 1048576}{
      set content_length [HTTP::header "Content-Length"]
    } else {
        set content_length 1048576
    }
     Check if $content_length is not set to 0
    if { $content_length > 0} {
      HTTP::collect $content_length
    }
  }
}
when HTTP_REQUEST_DATA {
   do stuff with the payload
  set payload [HTTP::payload]
}
