Calls to CSP_DELETE_VARS in CSP Gateway

Question

Brian Palmund · Oct 2, 2018

Hi,

We get a lot of errors in the CSP Gateway eventlog like this:

>>> Time: Tue Oct 2 11:32:48 2018; RT Build: 1701.1606aa (linux/apapi:srv=2.4.6/apr=1.4.8/apu=1.5.2/mpm=prefork); Log-Level: 0; Gateway-PID: 16600; Gateway-TID: 140543045277824
WARNING: The REQUEST_METHOD is absent for this request (CSP_DELETE_VARS)
HTTP_PRAGMA,HTTP_CACHE_CONTROL,HTTP_ACCESS_CONTROL_REQUEST_METHOD,HTTP_ORIGIN,HTTP_ACCESS_CONTROL_REQUEST_HEADERS

It does not seem to be from an external source. Anyone have an idea where requests like this could originate from and their purpose?

Version is: 2017.1.0.792.0

Gateway build: 1701.1606aa

Webserver type: Apache Web Server: Apache/2.4.6 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) OpenSSL/1.0.1e-fips Cache_Server_Pages-Apache_Module/2017.1.0.792.0-1701.1606aa

Hi Brian,

This maybe fixed by CMT1677 - Correct a fault that led to spurious event log messages (incorrectly) warning about the absence of an HTTP request method. We would need to take a closer look to see if this is the case or not. When you get a chance please open a WRC case or give us a call (+1 617 621 0700) and we will have someone investigate. CMT1677 is currently not in any released version of our products.
