I think that is not forbidden in the rfc...
But what about returning HTTP_BAD_REQUEST if Content-Length is not 0?
I don't believe rfc2616 forbids GET requests to have entity-bodies, so
it could be argued that rejecting such a request a priori is
non-conformant. Obviously, if the handler for the request does not
expect an entity-body, which would be the case in all the handlers I've
seen, the request ought to be rejected.
On the other hand, from a pragmatic point of view, proxying GETs with
entity-bodies to unknown downstream servers may cause them to
misbehave. So there is a good argument for mod_proxy to reject such
requests unless specifically instructed otherwise.
