Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCORE-736:
--------------------------------------------
[~XenoAmess] I personally think that GET, HEAD, DELETE and OPTIONS with an
enclosed entity are _idiotic_ and should have never been allowed. Unfortunately
RFC 7230 made it legal for those methods to enclose an entity and therefore the
request below is perfectly valid and HTTP/1.1 compliant proxies and servers
must be able to handle it
{noformat}
HTTP/1.1 GET /
Content-Length: 0
{noformat}

senior developers
