It's probably because it's doing a POST and all POSTS are required to submit a Content-Length header unless you are using chunked transfer- encoding. I'm not sure why it would have changed recently, but it was probably when we fixed the POST code to allow for chunked MIME multipart requests. Can you verify that adding a Content-Length: 0 solves it?
