Re: CONTENT_LENGTH = 0?

Hi Mike,

Only the POST and PUT methods upload a document, and therefore only 
these two methods will cause the CONTENT_LENGTH to be set above 0.

GET, HEAD, DELETE, TRACE, CONNECT and OPTIONS do not upload content, and 
therefore the content-length should always be 0 for those.  However, the 
REQUEST_METHOD should contain 'GET' and therefore your code (Which acts 
differently based on the request method) should do something different 
as well.

As to why you'd get CONTENT_LENGTH=0 with POST... I don't know.  The 
only reason that SHOULD happen is if you didn't provide any content. 
Presumably that's not the case?
