HTTP/1.1 even requires Content-Length unless it is known for a fact that
the server is a HTTP/1.1 server. This can't be known for a fact when
behind a Squid proxy as Squid is a HTTP/1.0 proxy and all responses via
Squid is automatically downgraded to HTTP/1.0 to prevent HTTP/1.1
detection from happening.

Multipart is only a data encoding operation, not a transfer encoding.
The request entity is the multipart encoded data.
