Rajmund Takacs updated NIFI-15625:
----------------------------------
Status: Patch Available (was: In Progress)
> Remove Transfer-Encoding too during request replication
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-15625
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-15625
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.8.0
> Reporter: Rajmund Takacs
> Assignee: Rajmund Takacs
> Priority: Major
> Time Spent: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> If a client sends the request with {{Transfer-Encoding: chunked}}, then this
> header was not removed when NiFi forwarded it to the rest of the cluster, but
> it added {{Content-Length: nnnn}} and encoded the actual replicated request
> according to {{Content-Length}} rule. The receiving NiFi instance therefore
> had to deal with a request with both headers present, and it rejected it.
> Even if it would accept such requests, it should have been interpreted
> according to {{Transfer-Encoding}} rule, and would have failed to find the
> chunk boundaries in that case, and would have failed to parse it.
> Ref: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9112
> h3. Important quotes:
> h4. 6.1. Transfer-Encoding
> {quote}
> Early implementations of {{Transfer-Encoding}} would occasionally send both a
> chunked transfer coding for message framing and an estimated
> {{Content-Length}} header field for use by progress bars. This is why
> {{Transfer-Encoding}} is defined as overriding {{Content-Length}}, as opposed
> to them being mutually incompatible.
> ...
> A server MAY reject a request that contains both {{Content-Length}} and
> {{Transfer-Encoding}} or process such a request in accordance with the
> {{Transfer-Encoding}} alone.
> {quote}
> h4. 6.2. Content-Length
> {quote}
> A sender MUST NOT send a {{Content-Length}} header field in any message that
> contains a {{Transfer-Encoding}} header field.
