[Catalyst] "Wrong Content-Length value"

[Nicholas Wehr]

okay - in this context I can understand your original message. I think
catalyst is behaving okay. In your example, the client is disconnected so it
cannot receive a response code. in my test telnet where I ran your example,
I fed more data in than was expected - but since I left the client connected
I got a response. the server went ahead and detected the content-length and
failed gracefully, though cryptically...

POST /foo HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:3000
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Content-Length: 4

asdfgasdfasdf
HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found
Connection: close
Date: Wed, 08 Sep 2010 23:09:47 GMT
Content-Length: 14
Content-Type: text/html; charset=3Dutf-8
Status: 404
X-Catalyst: 5.80024
