The request failed: 411 Length Required

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to send a GET request to a specific website, which told me how to do it. Now this is my script:

		local kkey = "SECRET-KEY" -- The original is hidden
		
		local response = HttpService:RequestAsync(
			{
				Url = "SPECIFIC-WEBSITE",
				Method = "GET",
				Headers = {
					["Accept"] = "application/json",
					["Content-Type"] = "application/json",
					["Authorization"] = "Bearer " .. kkey
				},
			}
		)
		
		if response.Success then
			print("Done")
		else
			print("The request failed:", response.StatusCode, response.StatusMessage)
		end

it all works, but when I try to run it, it gives me the following error:
“The request failed: 411 Length Required”

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

The website will not accept the request without a content-length header.

Okay so I added this

				Headers = {
					["Accept"] = "application/json",
					["Content-Type"] = "application/json",
					["Content-Length"] = 0,
					["Authorization"] = "Bearer " .. kkey
				},

and now it tells me this:

This might be an issue with how Roblox manages and sends HTTP requests, I’d try contacting Roblox support.

EDIT: This may also be the webserver/website issue, possibly to protect against DDOS and DOS attacks

I think its a roblox issue. I saw someone do the same thing with a synapse function instead of :RequestAsync, which included the same information, and it worked all fine for them. I’ll try to contact roblox support for this, but I don’t think anything is gonna change.

	Body = HttpService:JSONEncode({
		["Content-Length"] = 0
	})

Put this in the request, this should fix it
