HttpRequestParser Fails to Detect Requests Without a Message Body
-----------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HTTPCORE-219
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCORE-219
             Project: HttpComponents HttpCore
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: HttpCore NIO
    Affects Versions: 4.0.1
            Reporter: James Leigh


The HttpRequestParser uses the request method to determine if the request has a 
message body. However, HTTP 1.1 states that the presence of a message-body in a 
request is signaled by the inclusion of a Content-Length or Transfer-Encoding 
header field in the request's header fields. The parser should be changed to 
use the header to determine if a message body is present.

As is a POST or PUT request is received without a message body cannot be 
processed. Furthermore, a GET request with a message body cannot be processed 
either.
