Re: Content-length 2.3STABLE1 error?

To answer part of my own question. I looked further back in the
archives and Henrik saw the same problem in 2.3DEVEL3 so I am guessing
it is a bug which has continued through to 2.3STABLE1.

I am still interested in the adding Content-length portion of my
original question though.

I'll say it again for the logic impaired.
