+Just for the record, RFC 2616 section 4.4 have a priority list for the
+content-length plus:
+
+"For compatibility with HTTP/1.0 applications, HTTP/1.1 requests
+containing a message-body MUST include a valid Content-Length header
+field unless the server is known to be HTTP/1.1 compliant."
+
+and
+
+"When a Content-Length is given in a message where a message-body is
+allowed, its field value MUST exactly match the number of OCTETs in
+the message-body."
