Therefore it should be safe to assume if no Content-Length and no chunked headers are present there MUST follow an optional body with the connection-close afterwards as 'persistent connection' MUST NOT be present. Nope. GET requests routinely have keep-alive, but don't have bodies. Just FYI squid-3.0 release notes: request_entities New squid.conf directive request_entities on/off.If set to on then Squid will allow GET/HEAD requests with request entities, even if such entites are undefined in the HTTP specification. (Henrik Nordstrom) Anyway I have no longer standards compliance complaints as httpd-2.1 looks OK: On Sun, 08 Aug 2004 00:07:24 +0200, Roy T. Fielding wrote: ... An HTTP request with no content-length and no tranfer-encoding has no body, period: The presence of a message-body in a request is signaled by the inclusion of a Content-Length or Transfer-Encoding header field in the request's message-headers.

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.
