> **Issue** > When using the `HttpClient.send()` to send a GET request created using the > `HttpRequest.newBuilder()`, a `Content-length: 0` header is set. This > behaviour causes issues with many services as a body related header is > usually not expected to be included with a GET request. > > **Solution** > `Http1Request.java` was modified so that when the request method is a GET, a > `Content-length` header is not added to the request. However, if a developer > chooses to include a body in a GET request (though it is generally considered > bad practice), a `Content-length` header with the appropriate value will be > added.
