[jira] [Created] (HTTPCORE-512) GET request should not include Content-Length header

Daniel Dyląg created HTTPCORE-512:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: GET request should not include Content-Length header
                 Key: HTTPCORE-512
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCORE-512
             Project: HttpComponents HttpCore
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Daniel Dyląg


According to RFC 7230, chapter 3.3.2:
{noformat}
 A user agent SHOULD NOT send a Content-Length header field when the request message does not contain a payload body and the method semantics do not anticipate such a body.
{noformat}
 

This most importantly includes GET method. Instead, in RequestContent class, this header is always added if there is no entity. 
{code:java}
if (entity == null) {
 request.addHeader(HTTP.CONTENT_LEN, "0");
 return;
}{code}
