--- Comment #1 from Remy Maucherat <re...@apache.org> ---
This will need to be investigated before making a change. I consider that
getContentLength reflects the content-length header and "unknown" allows the
current behavior.

The Tomcat code accommodates the current behavior (Request.parseParameters),
and I think user code will have to check for the transfer-encoding header
anyway rather to rely on -1.

Conclusion: not convinced. I'll move this to 8.5 as well.
