Description


POST Body limit is configured more than 2 GB under AppFirewall Profile settings.

AppFirewall drops the POST request received from Client and sends TCP Zero Window. This can be confirmed through NetScaler Trace.

Resolution

Issue is fixed in 12.0 build 58.

NOTE: After upgrading to 12.0 build 58, the POST body limit can be set back to the maximum value of 4 GB
 

Problem Cause

The leading TCP window size is rounded off when the post body limit is set to 4294967295(2^32-1). Hence, AppFirewall is dropping the HTML Form post contents coming from Client machine
