What would happen in this case httpd would infer a body while no body would be
found there?
* In the case of a 'connection close' nothing, empty body would be found.
* In the case of a 'persistent connection':
* RFC2616 section 8.1.2.1:
In order to remain persistent, all messages on the connection MUST
have a self-defined message length (i.e., one not defined by closure
of the connection), as described in section 4.4.
Therefore 'persistent connection' is not allowed in this case.
Therefore it should be safe to assume if no Content-Length and no "chunked"
headers are present there MUST follow an optional body with the
connection-close afterwards as 'persistent connection' MUST NOT be present.
No, because looking for body when no body is present is an expensive
operation. An HTTP request with no content-length and no tranfer-encoding
has no body, period:
The presence of a message-body in a request is signaled by the inclusion of a Content-Length or Transfer-Encoding header field in the request's message-headers.
