Count the Body

Body Bytes

The body text has exact bytes.

highlighted = computed this step

The body text is hello

The body row is read after the blank-line boundary.

body=hello\text{body}=\text{hello}

The body hex is exact

The hex row shows the ASCII bytes for hello.

The body has five bytes

Counting the parsed body bytes gives 5.

Summary

The body length comes from the bytes after the headers, not from the request.
