[PATCH v2] http-backend: allow empty CONTENT_LENGTH

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



According to RFC3875, empty environment variable is equivalent to unset,
and for CONTENT_LENGTH it should mean zero body to read.

However, unset CONTENT_LENGTH is also used for chunked encoding to indicate
reading until EOF. At least, the test "large fetch-pack requests can be split
across POSTs" from t5551 starts faliing, if unset or empty CONTENT_LENGTH is
treated as zero length body. So keep the existing behavior as much as possible.

Add a test for the case.

Added the "reported-by" and explained inline the reason to keep existing behavior
