[GitHub] [trafficserver] rob05c commented on pull request #7905: Treat TRACE with body as bad request

   RFC7231 says
   https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7231#section-4.3.8
   
   > A client MUST NOT send a message body in a TRACE request.
   
   It doesn't say a server or cache MUST respond with an error. IMO we're conforming to the spec either way. The client has violated the spec, and we're not forbidden or required to do anything when they do. Thus, I'd lean toward following the Robustness Principle, and just ignore the body and serve them as best we can, because we can.
   
   But I don't think we're violating the RFC either way.
