So .. my company makes a portal for network management apps. One of the
vendors we support has a product which implements a broken webserver ..
it stuffs an extra CRLF after the header (so instead of 2, there's 3).
THis is clearly in violation of HTTP1.1, but getting the vendor to fix
his product is virtually impossible.

While analyzing the problem, it occurs to us that it might be sensible,
in the case of a non-persistent connection (and with "strict" turned
off) to arrange httpclient to read to end-of-stream instead of
content-length (which would fix our problem in a less hacky way then the
other alternatives).

If this doesn't cause too much heartache for the dev team I'd be happy
to submit a patch .. if someone has a real issue I'd like to hear why.

thanks
