Opened: Jan 07, 2014
Severity: 3-Major
A customer has reported that they are seeing a non-trivial number of requests blocked with "HTTP Protocol compliance failed - Unparsable content length".
False positive of blocked requests upon content length headers with leading whitespaces.
The customer has a proxy before ASM that adds whitespaces before the content-length.
N/A
The system no longer blocks content length headers with leading whitespaces, because it is legal. The system used to issue the "HTTP protocol compliance failed" sub-violation: "Unparsable request content".
