There was something, somewhere I was reading related to WSGI about
requiring content-length... but no matter.
Right, I remember now: the HTTP 1.0 specification. (Honestly not
trying to sound sarcastic!) See:
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/HTTP/1.0/draft-ietf-http-spec.html#Entity-Body
However, after testing every browser on my system (from Links and
ELinks, through Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Konqueror, and Dillo) across
the following test code, I find that they all handle a missing
content-length in the same way: reading the socket until it closes.
