it will return whole payload. if you want only 1mb, you have to include 1048576 e.g. HTTP::payload 1048576

    HTTP::payload &182; Returns the content that the HTTP::collect command has collected thus far, up to the number of bytes specified. If you do not specify a size, the system returns the entire collected content. becasue I only collected 1M, does it mean it will only respent 1M data?
