The version of ocspd I was using was the one I found on this web site
https://www.openca.org/projects/ocspd/.  Sounds like there have been code
changes since this version was released.  Is there a more recient release
than Version 1.5.1-rc1?  If not, are there plans to make a new release?

As for your questons, you can see my comments below.

I am using the source RPM, so rather than modify the souce code directly, I
have the spec file apply the patch during the rpmbuild.

I had a look at the patch again this morning and it does modify the code
where it is looking for content-length.  Have a look at the patch again.  I
can resend it if it was mangled.
