Package: mozilla-livehttpheaders
Version: 0.13.1-3
Severity: normal

When using the replay feature of Live HTTP headers with a POST request
and modifying the POST request data, Live HTTP headers does show the
new Content-Length resulting from the changes below the request
contents field.
It however does not change it in the headers accordingly, which would
be the optimal behaviour.
Even worse, if one manually modifies it in the HTTP headers field and
then replays the request, it not only includes the changed
Content-Length header, but also appends the original one (plus
Content-Type) again, i.e. in the resulting request it looks something
like this:

--8<---

Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 76
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 74

--8<---

This then results in an HTTP error 413 (Request Entity Too Large) from
the server.
