I noticed that when issuing a HEAD request on a CGI page (trying unsuccessfully to reproduce the showstopper), the Content-Length is not returned.
RFC 2616 Section 9.4: The metainformation contained in the HTTP headers in response to a HEAD request SHOULD be identical to the information sent in response to a GET request. Obviously, there's wiggle-room here, but we could be nice and send the Content-Length. This does make the cost of a HEAD be equivalent to a GET (except for network I/O), but it ensures identical headers returned to the client. (Apache 1.3 doesn't send C-L either...)
