Squid configuration directive chunked_request_body_max_size

Available in: 3.3   3.2   3.1   3.HEAD   3.0  

History:

Changes in 3.1 chunked_request_body_max_size

New option to enable handing of broken HTTP/1.1 clients sending chunk requests. 

        A broken or confused HTTP/1.1 client may send a chunked HTTP
        request to Squid. Squid does not have full support for that
        feature yet. To cope with such requests, Squid buffers the
        entire request and then dechunks request body to create a
        plain HTTP/1.0 request with a known content length. The plain
        request is then used by the rest of Squid code as usual.

        The option value specifies the maximum size of the buffer used
        to hold the request before the conversion. If the chunked
        request size exceeds the specified limit, the conversion
        fails, and the client receives an "unsupported request" error,
        as if dechunking was disabled.

        Dechunking is enabled by default. To disable conversion of
        chunked requests, set the maximum to zero.

        Request dechunking feature and this option in particular are a
        temporary hack. When chunking requests and responses are fully
        supported, there will be no need to buffer a chunked request.
