HTTP: Missing Content-Length in HTTP/1.1 PUT/POST
This protocol anomaly triggers when it detects an HTTP/1.1 POST or PUT request without a content-length field. Such requests make finding the next request in the client-to-server stream impossible.
Extended Description
HTTP POST and PUT requests that do not contain a Content-Length header field should be considered protocol anomalies. The impact depends on how a server processes such a malformed request.
