Right, I remember now: the HTTP 1.0 specification.  (Honestly not 
trying to sound sarcastic!)  See:

	http://www.w3.org/Protocols/HTTP/1.0/draft-ietf-http-spec.html#Entity-Body

However, after testing every browser on my system (from Links and 
ELinks, through Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Konqueror, and Dillo) across 
the following test code, I find that they all handle a missing 
content-length in the same way: reading the socket until it closes.
