> HTTP server decoding (aka HttpServerDecoder) is broken is several parts:
> 1) it make the assertion that PUT and POST request must have a non -zero length body. This is false, thing about REST request: an empty PUT request can be use to create a server initialized entry and an empty POST request can be used to change properties where the value is stored in the URL (/rest/1234/status/cancelled). In that case, an exception is thrown but the state is not reset so remaining decoding will fail
> 2) it also make the assumption that only PUT and POST request can have a body where I can't find a significant case but I tried a GET request with a body on Google (GPE), Microsoft (IIS) and Apache (Apache) and Google was the only server to reject the request as malformed.
