Irule to make HTTP request size compliant with header

[Anthony_Epron]

Hello,

I need to implement in F5 is a possibility to reject an HTTP request in case the size of the request is not corresponding to the Content-Length of the header.

I cannot use ASM for it.

I think use an irule like below where I can find a way to replace "set req [HTTP::request]" by a condition who indicate the size of the request in bit.

when HTTP_REQUEST {

  set req [HTTP::request]

   set len [HTTP::header "Content-Length"]

     if { [expr $len eq ne expr $lreq} {

       reject

     }

   }

 }

Thanks in advance for your help.

what you are trying to do will work with GET but you may wish to consider POST, where you will have to use HTTP::collect and use HTTP::payload length.

For use with GET, you can simply use string length:

when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [expr { [string length [HTTP::request]] eq ne expr [HTTP::header "Content-Length"]} { reject } }
