New submission from apmatthews <apmatth...@gmail.com>:
RFC 7230 3.3.2 states "A sender MUST NOT send a Content-Length header field in
any message that contains a Transfer-Encoding header field."
When trying to perform a chunked request:
import httplib
http = httplib.HTTPSConnection('google.com')
http.request("POST", '/', None, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain',
'Transfer-Encoding': 'chunked'})
Resulting headers include:
Content-Length: 0
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
The receiving server should ignore the Content-Length in this case but some
versions of IIS don't and consequently fail to accept the chunks that follow.
