Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 0.9
Environment: Linux melkjug.org 2.6.26-hardened-r4 #2 SMP Fri Oct 24

Reporter: Joshua Bronson
CouchDB invariably sends a bogus "Content-Length: 0" header in response to HEAD
requests for _all_docs and _all_docs_by_seq (and possibly other queries).
According to http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html#sec9.4 "The
metainformation contained in the HTTP headers in response to a HEAD request
SHOULD be identical to the information sent in response to a GET request."
(I discovered this while writing a python script to stream the body of an
_all_docs_by_seq response to stdout for use as a database dump.)
