[jira] Issue Comment Edited: (HTTPCORE-115) StrictContentLengthStrategy misinterprets Transfer-Encoding header

This is intentional. Even though RFC 2616 allows for multiple transfer codings, 'chunked' is the only value used practice. I have never seen even 'identity' coding. I am not in favor of adding a more complex processing without any practical benefit.

> StrictContentLengthStrategy assumes that the Transfer-Encoding header is single-valued, while RFC 2616 specifies it is a list.
> I've seen a few of these misinterpretations lately, and there probably are more. Maybe we should have a convenient way to iterate over header values, and/or to check for the presence of a specific value. Otherwise we'll have to spread code for iterating over headers with the same name and for splitting the header values into elements all over the place.
