    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.
