[Mono-dev] HttpListenerRequest.HasEntityBody

Hi,

It looks like our HttpListenerRequest.HasEntityBody is implemented
not according to RFC2616 section 4.
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec4.html#sec4.4

>From the source
http://svn.myrealbox.com/source/trunk/mcs/class/System/System.Net/HttpListenerRequest.cs
it is implemented as

	public bool HasEntityBody {
		get { return (method == "GET" || method == "HEAD" || content_length <=
0 || is_chunked); }
	}

... but the specification says nothing about the request method.

So, wouldn't it be conceptually like this?

	if (Content-Length <= 0 && Transfer-Encoding == null && Content-Type !=
"multipart/byteranges")
		return false;
	return true;
