Bluetooth GATT Characteristic Reference
HTTP Entity Body (0x2AB9)
The HTTP Entity Body Characteristic contains the contents of the message body after any Transfer Encoding has been applied.
Quick Summary
Payload length is profile-defined or variable based on field formats. This page is generated from official GATT XML and presented as implementation-ready guidance.

Field Specification
Parsed field definitions from the source XML value structure.
| Field | Requirement | Format | Unit | Exponent | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HTTP Entity Body | Mandatory | utf8s | - | - | The HTTP entity body used in the HTTP request. |
Byte Layout and Decode
Payload length is profile-defined or variable based on field formats.
function decodePayload(dataView, offset = 0) {
// Parse http_entity_body (utf8s) according to Bluetooth format rules.
return { http_entity_body };
}Use Cases and Integration Notes
BLE Telemetry
Map characteristic values into dashboards and alerts for device observability.
Firmware Regression
Compare decoded fields across builds to detect protocol or scaling changes.
App Integration
Build stable parsing paths that convert raw payloads into typed app models.
Implementation Checklist
- Validate payload length and mandatory fields before decode.
- Decode with Bluetooth-specified signedness, unit, and exponent handling.
- Convert units at presentation boundaries to avoid drift in business logic.
- Persist raw packets and decoded values for reproducible troubleshooting.
