Is the server at fault in not returning Content-Length?

Can you provide a full working snippet which demonstrates the bug you
are facing? I fear, if I am lacking some information to completely
determine what needs to be fixed (I understand the code change you
suggested, but also need to know why and under what practical
situation would code flow through that).
