Logic Apps doesn't properly process some HTTP requests with Transfer-Encoding: chunked

[hajekj]

Describe the Bug

I have the following Logic App: /resource/subscriptions/63dd3a98-6ad8-47ae-ae7f-568e9b3104a8/resourcegroups/LogicAppsConsumption/providers/Microsoft.Logic/workflows/case-2307310050002056/designer which is defined as the workflow JSON sample below. The trigger URL is: https://prod-06.westeurope.logic.azure.com:443/workflows/97c8d03a704c44368ca59e64d7ea425b/triggers/manual/paths/invoke?... when sending a HTTP request to this endpoint, it resolves as Traffic Manager and further resolves as either flowfe-prod-am-rp00-app.flow-prod-am-rp00-ase.p.azurewebsites.net (ASE) or flowfe-prod-am-rp.cloudapp.net (Cloud Service) with likely a 1:5 ratio. When I send a standard HTTP POST request from ASP.NET, and the request is routed through Cloud Service, the body is outputted correctly. When the request gets routed through ASE, the body is empty.

Support in the case mentioned below identified the issue here which looks like it has been present since 2016.

1. Why does it happen only when routed through ASE and not Cloud App?
2. Is this ever going to be fixed? It looks like only the ASE infrastructure suffers from this, and since Cloud Services as deprecated, you are more likely to break a lot of stuff, since the defaults are to use chunked encoding with HTTP POSTs in C#.

Steps to Reproduce the Bug or Issue

Read the bug description. And execute this from WSL:

Wrong ASE

curl --location 'https://flowfe-prod-am-rp00-app.flow-prod-am-rp00-ase.p.azurewebsites.net/workflows/97c8d03a704c44368ca59e64d7ea425b/triggers/manual/paths/invoke?...' \
--header 'Host: prod-06.westeurope.logic.azure.com' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Transfer-Encoding: chunked' \
--data-raw '{
    "test": true
}'

Works ASE

curl --location 'https://flowfe-prod-am-rp00-app.flow-prod-am-rp00-ase.p.azurewebsites.net/workflows/97c8d03a704c44368ca59e64d7ea425b/triggers/manual/paths/invoke?...' \
--header 'Host: prod-06.westeurope.logic.azure.com' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "test": true
}'

Works Cloud Service

curl --location 'https://flowfe-prod-am-rp.cloudapp.net/workflows/97c8d03a704c44368ca59e64d7ea425b/triggers/manual/paths/invoke?...' \

Additional context

Affects also Power Automate which runs on top of Logic Apps consumption. I removed the trigger URL parameters since it failed to sync to Microsoft's DevOps, however I am happy to provide those for testing.

Partially related to https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/30283 and Stack Overflow providing mitigation.

@hajekj Did you find a solution? Facing the same issue.

[hajekj]

The solution is to disable chunking on HttpClient side, which can be achieved like this:

var request = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, "https://...");

// https://github.com/Azure/logicapps/issues/869
var content = JsonContent.Create(body);
await content.LoadIntoBufferAsync();

request.Content = content;

+1, nothing works if the request body was chunked and I didn't call LoadIntoBufferAsync().
