Content-Length of event

Description

I think it would be interesting to count the total size of the fields received.

For example it might be useful to send a HTTP POST from HTTP and power output set the Content-Length:

http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html
14.13 Content-Length

POST /request HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/jsonrequest
Content-Type: application/jsonrequest
Host: json.penzance.org
Content-Length: 72

Hi,

is true, but not exactly what I had thought.

That way you get the content-length but you lose the ability to customize the content of the post.

You can not send in the POST content like this:

name1 # # name2

Just json format.

In contrast, the tcp output can generate POST request and absolutely give the desired format except the part of the calculating content-length: .

I think that would give impressive power if in tcp output was possible to calculate the size of the string that is sent as the content and / or the http output to allow a custom format of the content of the request.

Thanks anyway for your answer.

greetings
