Hi Conor,

 

 

You could explicitly unset request to clear the memory (unset request).

 

 

Also, I don't think you need to use HTTP::release in HTTP_REQUEST_DATA:

 

 

 

HTTP::release wiki page

 

http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/iRules/http__release

 

 

Releases the data collected via HTTP::collect. Unless a subsequent HTTP::collect command was issued, there is no need to use the HTTP::release command inside of the HTTP_REQUEST_DATA and HTTP_RESPONSE_DATA events, since (in these cases) the data is implicitly released.

 

 

 

 

And IE can send post requests with a content length header set to 0. There is a note on the HTTP::collect page warning against collecting without a value. Perhaps you would want to only collect if the the Content-Length value exists and is greater than 0?
