You've misread that section. In HTTP/1.0, *requests* were required to
have a Content-Length if they had a body (HTTP 1.1 fixed that with
chunked request support). Responses have never had that restriction:
they have always (even since before HTTP 1.0) been allowed to omit
Content-Length and terminate by closing the socket.
Ah ha, that explains my confusion, then! Thank you.
