Description
Created attachment 368424 Be less strict in parsing the Content-Length header
The spec only allows digits in the Content-Length header. Unfortunately not everyone has read the spec carefully and there are servers out here in the wild that append a semicolon.
We ran into this problem and created a small patch that I'd like to submit for inclusion upstream.
Patch 368424, "Be less strict in parsing the Content-Length header":
