Opened: May 28, 2023

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

ASM requests TMM to rechunk payload in following scenarios: - Content-Length header was not found on response headers. - Response with headers only.

Impact

Transfer-Encoding: chunked header is added to the response.

Conditions

Content-Length header is missing from the HTTP response.

Workaround

None

Fix Information

On "Fixed" versions, create an internal ASM parameter as "is_disable_rechunk" below and restart ASM service, which would then stop tagging "Transfer Encoding: Chunked" in the Response header.
