Michael Osipov commented on HTTPCORE-643:
-----------------------------------------
So you want to add explicitly: ` Content-Length: 0` w/o an entity? Makes sense,
but also consider that 19 additional (useless) bytes because it is a SHOULD not
a MUST. Make it configurable?
> 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
> Priority: Major
>
> [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.
