I'm afraid you'll have to ask R. Fielding, J. Gettye, J. Mogul, H. Frystyk,
and T. Berners-Lee what they were thinking. <grin> I was just quoting from
RFC 2068: Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1

As for printing a warning only when wget can "prove" that the Content-Length
data was faulty, sounds like a reasonable implementation to me.
