I am sending a POST
request using the following code but the request is send in the form of chunked (Transfer-Encoding: chunked
). I googled about the problem and it says to include the Content-Length
but in the below code I could not figure out how could I set the Content-Length
:
@RequestMapping(value = "/contacts", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public Map<String, ContactInfo> addContactInfo(
@RequestBody Map<String, ContactInfo> ContactInfoDto) {
ContactInfo contactInfo = ContactInfoDto.get("contact");
if (contactInfo == null) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Contact not found.");
}
contactInfo = this.contactInfoManager.addNew(contactInfo);
Map<String, ContactInfo> map = new HashMap<>();
map.put("contact", contactInfo);
return map;
}
You can use ResponseEntity
to set headers explicitly. The tricky bit is figuring out how long your content actually is:
@RequestMapping(value = "/contacts", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public ResponseEntity<Map<String, ContactInfo>> addContactInfo(@RequestBody Map<String, ContactInfo> contactInfoDto) throws JsonProcessingException {
ContactInfo contactInfo = contactInfoDto.get("contact");
if (contactInfo == null) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Contact not found.");
}
contactInfo = this.contactInfoManager.addNew(contactInfo);
Map<String, ContactInfo> map = new HashMap<>();
map.put("contact", contactInfo);
HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.set(HttpHeaders.CONTENT_LENGTH, String.valueOf(new ObjectMapper().writeValueAsString(map).length()));
return new ResponseEntity<Map<String, ContactInfo>>(map, headers, HttpStatus.CREATED);
}
Test:
$ curl -v http://localhost:8080/contacts/ -X POST -d '{ "contact": { "name": "foo" } }' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' && echo
* Trying ::1...
* Connected to localhost (::1) port 8080 (#0)

{"contact":{"name":"foo"}}
The following code:
@RequestMapping(value = "/contacts", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public Map<String, ContactInfo> addContactInfo(
@RequestBody Map<String, ContactInfo> ContactInfoDto,
@RequestHeader(value = HttpHeaders.CONTENT_LENGTH, required = true) Long contentLength
) { ... }
Can be used to require Content-Length
header to be sent.
Just note that you also have to add that header in code that sends request (most of the clients do that automatically but better check)
