Opened: Mar 09, 2021

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

HTTP/2 virtual servers pass the chunk size bytes from the server-side (HTTP/1.1) to the client-side (HTTP/2) when OneConnect and request-logging profiles are applied. This results in a malformed HTTP response.

Impact

The HTTP response passed to the client-side includes chunk size header values when it should not, resulting in a malformed HTTP response.

Conditions

-- BIG-IP configured with a HTTP/2 virtual server using OneConnect and request-logging profiles. -- The pool member sends a chunked response.

Workaround

Change HTTP response-chunking to either 'unchunk' or 'rechunk' in the HTTP profile for the virtual server.

Fix Information

The HTTP response egressing the client-side no longer includes chunk size bytes.
