------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> protocol-http throws an error when the content-length header is not a number
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NUTCH-2564
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-2564
> Project: Nutch
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Reporter: Gerard Bouchar
> Priority: Major
>
> When a server sends an invalid Content-Length header (one that is not a valid
> number) with a plain-text http body, browsers simply ignore it, but
> protocol-http has a strange approach: if the header is composed only of white
> spaces, it ignores it, but if it contains other characters, it throws an
> error, preventing us from doing anything with the page.
> It should simply ignore invalid Content-Length headers.
