Oleg Kalnichevski resolved HTTPCORE-219.
----------------------------------------

    Resolution: Invalid

I am sorry, James, but your assertion is incorrect. The decision as to whether 
a message is entity closing or not is taken by HttpRequestFactory, not 
HttpRequestParser. The default implementation of HttpRequestFactory can be 
replaced by a custom impl, which can make all requests entity enclosing,  if 
you are absolutely sure you need to bastardize the HTTP protocol.

And no, GET requests MAY NOT have a content body. Only POST and PUT messages 
are defined as entity enclosing by the RFC2616

> 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.
