Emmanuel Lecharny commented on DIRMINA-940:
-------------------------------------------

>From HTTP 1.0 :

{quote}
7.2.2 Length
When an Entity-Body is included with a message, the length of that body may be 
determined in one of two ways. If a Content-Length header field is present, its 
value in bytes represents the length of the Entity-Body. Otherwise, the body 
length is determined by the closing of the connection by the server.
{quote}

So we can have a response with no content length. Of course that means the 
connection has been closed by the server, but this is not a problem for a 
response.

FTR, HTTP 1.0 defines nothing like a Keep-Alive directive (except that some 
servers have implemented it, but the spec is mute about it).


> HTTP Client decoder does not support responses without Content-Length header
