This command controls whether the web application firewall can send chunked-encoded documents to the target server.
Syntax

off- Disables chunked encoding for HTTP/1.1 requests to the target server. This setting is the default value.
Guidelines
The chunked-uploads command controls whether DataPower® service can send chunked-encoded documents to the target server.
DataPower services can send an HTTP/1.1 request to the target server. In this case, the body of
the document can be delimited by Content-Length or chunked encoding.
All servers understand
Content-Length, but many applications fail to understand
chunked encoding. Therefore, Content-Length is used.Note: The use of
Content-Length interferes with the ability of the DataPower service to fully
stream.Unlike all other HTTP/1.1 features that can be negotiated down at run time, you must know
beforehand that the target server is RFC 2616 compatible.
- If you must stream full documents to the target server, set this property to
on. - Consider leaving this property set to
off. You can the User Agent chunked-uploads-policy command to enable chunked-encoding on a per-URL basis.
Examples
- Enable chunked encoding support.
# chunked-uploads on - Disable chunked encoding support to restore the default
state.
# chunked-uploads off
