That's rather, *if* the client says something about the length, then
CONTENT_LENGTH tells about it. One should not trust it anyway, since inflating
compressed content with mod_deflate (for example), changes the length, but
neither changes the Header nor the environment variable.
CGI would happen after mod_deflate. If mod_deflate changes the request
body without also (un)setting content-length, then it is broken. However,
I suspect you are thinking of a response body, not the request.
