Option Type Description Requires

Option	Type	Description	Requires
`enabled`	boolean	Allows POST requests.		{"displayType":"boolean","tag":"input","type":"checkbox"}
`allow_without_content_length`	boolean	By default, POST requests also require a `Content-Length` header, or they result in a 411 error. With this option enabled with no specified `Content-Length`, the edge server relies on a `Transfer-Encoding` header to chunk the data. If neither header is present, it assumes the request has no body, and it adds a header with a `0` value to the forward request.		{"displayType":"boolean","tag":"input","type":"checkbox"} {"if":{"attribute":"enabled","op":"eq","value":true}}
