Thanks Nicholas.  This needs to be fixed in branch-1 as well, mind posting a patch?  IMO this is a 1.1 blocker as w/o it we've broken compat with earlier 20 releases and you can't distcp with webdhfs.

> If reading a file large enough for which the httpserver running webhdfs/httpfs uses chunked transfer encoding (more than 24K in the case of webhdfs), then the WebHdfsFileSystem client fails with an IOException with message *Content-Length header is missing*.
> It looks like WebHdfsFileSystem is delegating opening of the inputstream to *ByteRangeInputStream.URLOpener* class, which checks for the *Content-Length* header, but when using chunked transfer encoding the *Content-Length* header is not present and  the *URLOpener.openInputStream()* method thrown an exception.
