If Content-Length was an unreliable indicator of request content then
web applications wouldn't work properly. The only instance I know of
that Content-Length passed in to an application may not be correct is
when hosting on Apache and you have an Apache input filter installed
which mutates the input such that the amount of content changes.
Luckily things like using compression on request content is hardly
ever done and so this doesn't become an issue though.
Now, where on earth have you got this idea that you can not rely on
Content-Length on a request?
