according to RFC2616 (HTTP/1.1) section 4.4 it is valid to do POST method without specifying Content-Length. Mobile phone SonyEricsson P900 sends such requests to its specified WAP proxy (behaving in HTTP way - I assume a bug): http://www.jankratochvil.net/priv/SonyEricssonP900.HTTPrequest.gz
Unfortunately no httpd/apache or squid versions support such requests. * httpd assumes no body at all and tries to interpret the message body as another HTTP request. * squid complains with 411 (length required)
Um, Apache HTTP Server 2.0 (and higher) certainly reads chunked input. Our httpd-test perl-framework explicitly checks for this behavior. -- justin
