Daniel Dyląg created HTTPCORE-512:
-------------------------------------
Summary: GET request should not include Content-Length header
Key: HTTPCORE-512
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCORE-512
Project: HttpComponents HttpCore
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Daniel Dyląg
According to RFC 7230, chapter 3.3.2:
{noformat}
A user agent SHOULD NOT send a Content-Length header field when the request
message does not contain a payload body and the method semantics do not
anticipate such a body.
{noformat}
This most importantly includes GET method. Instead, in RequestContent class,
this header is always added if there is no entity.
{code:java}
if (entity == null) {
request.addHeader(HTTP.CONTENT_LEN, "0");
return;
}{code}
