-------------------------------------
Summary: Add zero content-length to PUT and POST requests with no
entity
Key: HTTPCORE-643
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCORE-643
Project: HttpComponents HttpCore
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 5.0.1
Reporter: Carter Kozak
[https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-3.3.2] states "A user agent SHOULD
send a Content-Length in a request message when
no Transfer-Encoding is sent and the request method defines a meaning
for an enclosed payload body."
I encountered a proxy that rejected both PUT and POST requests with no
content-length and no body by returning a 411 "Length Required" status. I
believe this is rare, and servers are expected to support requests with and
without a defined content length and no body, but it would be helpful to add
the content-length by default to avoid incompatibility.
