> When a server sends an invalid Content-Length header (one that is not a valid number) with a plain-text http body, browsers simply ignore it, but protocol-http has a strange approach: if the header is composed only of white spaces, it ignores it, but if it contains other characters, it throws an error, preventing us from doing anything with the page.
> It should simply ignore invalid Content-Length headers.
