OK. Now just a question whether to not to implement HTTP-request sanity check
as is implemented in squid clientCheckContentLength():
PUT+POST:
require a request entity: HTTP_LENGTH_REQUIRED = 411
GET+HEAD:
forbid a request entity if !$request_entities: HTTP_LENGTH_REQUIRED =
411
configurable $request_entities:
allow GET/HEAD requests with request entities, even if such
entites are "undefined" in the HTTP specification.
Unfortunately there is no HTTP specification which methods
MUST/MUST NOT/etc. (RFC 2119) include HTTP request bodies.
