Robin Schoonover added the comment:

I'm not sure I follow, as it has little to say on whether the application's 
expected behavior here, and only a recommendation that the server allow it.  
But, it also defers to the "Python Standard Library", which does have an 
opinion.  I feel that (in hindsight) the exact behavior of each method should 
have been specified in full.

*However*, even if I differ on the reading of the spec, on general principle 
(and this has changed since I first wrote the issue) I agree that the 
application should not be omitting it anyway, because reading the entire 
response at once without checking the content length is dangerous.
