Changelog
+Daniel (25 November 2006)
+- Venkat Akella found out that libcurl did not like HTTP responses that simply
+ responded with a single status line and no headers nor body. Starting now, a
+ HTTP response on a persistent connection (i.e not set to be closed after the
+ response has been taken care of) must have Content-Length or chunked
+ encoding set, or libcurl will simply assume that there is no body.
+
+ To my horror I learned that we had no less than 57(!) test cases that did bad
+ HTTP responses like this, and even the test http server (sws) responded badly
+ when queried by the test system if it is the test system. So although the
+ actual fix for the problem was tiny, going through all the newly failing test
+ cases got really painful and boring.
