Description

When one tries to access the mail composition page: one of the AJAX calls it generates is rejected by Squid, producing a big yellow error in the middle of the page. Here are the headers:

HTTP/1.x 411 Length Required
Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2007 22:29:15 GMT
Server: squid/2.5.STABLE9
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 1946
Expires: Wed, 21 Feb 2007 22:29:15 GMT
X-Squid-Error: ERR_INVALID_REQ 0
X-Cache: MISS from example.com
X-Cache-Lookup: NONE from example.com
Connection: close

This looks rather straightforward: the length is missing. For the sake of completeness, my user agent:

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; fr; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1

Note that a simple click on the "Save draft" icon cleans the mess and allows the user to actually compose and send the mail.

The following patch makes it work.

Bottom-line, at least on this version of Firefox, null produces no Content-Length header whereas the empty string does. Squid claims that Content-Length is required for POST, this is probably specified in RFC 2616.

Waiting for IE6 validation before commiting the change.
