[issue14721] httplib doesn't specify content-length header for POST requests without data

[Jesús Cea Avión]

Jesús Cea Avión <jcea at jcea.es> added the comment:

HEAD?. It doesn't make sense in HEAD if it doesn't make sense in GET.

Looking around, I found this, to mud the water a little bit more: <http://fixunix.com/tcp-ip/66198-http-rfc-related-question-content-length-0-get-request.html>.

Not being explicit about this is a "bug" in the specification, I think.
