Content-Length specifics
Is whitespace allowed after the value set in Content-Length? eg:
Content-Length: 12344 \r\n

Ahh, that is the key. Thanks.

I don't see why strtol wouldn't parse that.
But, the key thing to remember is that headers are stripped of
trailing spaces before they are placed in the table. So, in
practice, we'll never see trailing spaces. -- justin

We've allways followed the IETF dogma:
Be strict in what you send, but liberal in what you accept.
Looking at the BNF in 2616 - it's a valid header. Looking at the
definition of the length itself; not too clear it is wrong - in fact -
this is not too well described.

That falls under the generic LWS rule.
