mod_proxy dropping content length header

           Summary: mod_proxy dropping content length header
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.35
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: mod_proxy
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: phillip.rhodes@alcoa.com


We are using mod_proxy to proxy pdf documents on an internal web server.

The mod_proxy with 2.x is not returning the content-length of the pdf.
Using a 1.3 version of mod_proxy, to the same webserver, will return a content-
length header.

Below is the headers for a 1.3 and a 2.0 apache version.  Notice that the 2.x 
apache does not return a content length header, while the 1.3 does.
