HTTP Message is defined in RFC https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2616#section-4. Most application layer frameworks do not have access to the entire size (they would normally have access to Content-Length header or the actual size of the body).

Ask: clarify what should instrumentation authors do if they don't have access to HTTP Message.
