No. If the CRLF is not part of the data, then it shouldn't be there nor
included in the counter. The Content-Length: describes the size of the data
it POSTs, not anything else. libcurl did include the extra CRLF for a long
time (but not anymore) but it never included them in the Content-Length:
counter.

AFAIK.
