Symptoms

If Tcl parks during HTTP::collect, and serverssl is present, data can be truncated. serverssl can send an 'early' EOF when notified by the server.

Impact

The server response is truncated.

Conditions

serverssl with a server that notifies SSL of connection termination. If Tcl is parked during a HTTP::collect call, then it is possible for the EOF to be placed before the data collected. If that occurs, then the data is dropped. Use of HTTP::collect in an iRule on the server-side. If HTTP::collect is called within the HTTP_RESPONSE_DATA event, the occurrence is much more likely.

Workaround

None

Fix Information

A response from the server is no longer truncated in some situations when the serverssl profile is combined with the use of the HTTP::collect iRule command.
