Description:
------------
Seeing as ob_get_length() is problematic for use in constructing
HTTP/1.1 Content-Length: headers due to its design goals being at
variance with being used for such purpose, I would like to request a
new API call be introduced which *CAN* be used for Content-Length:
headers.
Such API call should return the correct value with or without trans_sid
being enabled, and it should also return the correct result when
alternative output handlers (such as the gzhandler) are hooked in.
I realise this may take a few releases. :) Thanks! Incidentally, I've
find using the ob_* functions to be a complete lifesaver, allowing me to
greatly simplify alot of page-scripts... being able to throw a
header("Location:") at the "end" of my PHP script allows me immense
freedom in handling certain kinds of exceptions, which otherwise would
have involved very intricate logic.
Cheers,

Reproduce code:
---------------
If trans_sid or the gzhandler is used, any call to ob_get_length() will
return incorrect values, thus making it useless to generate HTTP/1.1
Content-Length: headers from this value. Since there is nothing else
even remotely like this API entry-point to obtain such information, a
new one is called for.
