From be17b0d74a1716034012c46530a984bab124d630 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Damian Meden Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2026 11:48:44 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Return 413 for POST bodies exceeding post_copy_size during request buffering When request_buffer_enabled is true and a POST/PUT body exceeds post_copy_size, ATS now properly returns 413 Content Too Large instead of crashing or returning incorrect error responses. This change addresses two scenarios: 1. Requests with known Content-Length: - Check Content-Length against post_copy_size upfront in HandleRequest() - For requests with "Expect: 100-continue", perform the check BEFORE sending "100 Continue" to avoid wasting bandwidth on bodies that will be rejected 2. Chunked transfer encoding requests: - Since body size is unknown upfront, detect overflow during buffering - Set request_body_too_large flag and use HTTP_TUNNEL_EVENT_PRECOMPLETE for graceful tunnel completion - HttpSM checks the flag and calls PostBodyTooLarge to send 413 --- include/proxy/http/HttpSM.h | 1 + include/proxy/http/HttpTransact.h | 1 + src/proxy/http/HttpSM.cc | 37 +++++- src/proxy/http/HttpTransact.cc | 24 ++++ src/proxy/http/HttpTunnel.cc | 12 +- .../post/post-body-too-large-413.test.py | 113 ++++++++++++++++++ .../post_slow_server/post_slow_server.test.py | 2 +- 7 files changed, 184 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tests/gold_tests/post/post-body-too-large-413.test.py diff --git a/include/proxy/http/HttpSM.h b/include/proxy/http/HttpSM.h index 3bbbd802a14..64cfe66c796 100644 --- a/include/proxy/http/HttpSM.h +++ b/include/proxy/http/HttpSM.h @@ -521,6 +521,7 @@ class HttpSM : public Continuation, public PluginUserArgs bool server_connection_is_ssl = false; bool is_waiting_for_full_body = false; bool is_buffering_request_body = false; + bool request_body_too_large = false; // Set when POST body exceeds post_copy_size during buffering // hooks_set records whether there are any hooks relevant // to this transaction.
