------- Additional Comments From marc.saegesser@apropos.com  2002-04-15 20:36 -------
Requests that do not contain a message body probably should not have a Content-
length header.  My reading of RFC 2616 is that the existence of a Content-
Length header implies that there is a message body.  The semantics of a message 
body of length 0 may be debatable, but it seems reasonable to me to leave it 
off.
