Ok, let us just nip this one right in the bud....
the HTTP protocol spec does NOT require a Content-Length header.
It is permissible to simply close the connection at the end of the body,
and it is permissible to (in 1.1) use chunk encoding (a self-defining content
that lets you dynamicly know when the last bytes have arrived).

Please...
read the spec before you make claims about what it requires and what it does
not.
