Hi,

When using Digest authentication and doing a POST
request with a body that is read from file (read
callback), libcurl first posts a HEAD request to
handle the authentication. This HEAD request does not
contain a Content-Length.
According to RFC2616 (HTTP 1.1):

"The Content-Length entity-header field indicates the
size of the entity-body, in decimal number of OCTETs,
sent to the recipient or, in the case of the HEAD
method, the size of the entity-body that would have
been sent had the request been a GET."

Is this a bug in libcurl or is there a reason to omit
it? The server with which we try to comunicate returns
"411 Length Required".

Best regards,
Chris
