> I think user code will have to check for the transfer-encoding header anyway
Why is that? Do servlets care about the framing of request bodies? I don't
think so. The HTTP standard even requires that the framing of the message body
(i.e. if transfer-encoding is used or content-length) must not have an
influence on the semantics: "Request message framing is independent of method
semantics" [1] So for most servlets, framing will not make a difference.
Similarly, most servlets will not care how the absence of a request body is
signaled. They will want to handle requests in the same way regardless of
whether the request has a content-length: 0 header or neither content-length
nor transfer-encoding header. So the servlet API should hide this detail by
returning 0 on getContentLenth() in both cases.
