[New-bugs-announce] [issue16088] http.server's send_error could set the content-length of the error body

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou:

BaseHTTPRequestHandler.send_error() sets "connection: close", so the client shouldn't need a content-length, but it can still be nicer to send it (e.g. it seems to solve an issue with wget, see issue15991).
