| The Content-Length header field indicates the size of the message-body, in
decimal number of octets, sent to the recipient. Applications SHOULD use
this field to indicate the size of the message-body to be transferred,
regardless of the media type of the entity. If a stream-based protocol
(such as TCP) is used as transport, the header field MUST be used.
The size of the message-body does not include the CRLF separating header
fields and body. Any Content-Length greater than or equal to zero is a
valid value. If no body is present in a message, then the Content-Length
header field value MUST be set to zero.
