[cpp-netlib-devel] Assumption about response headers

[Ivan J. <ijo...@gm...>]

Hi Dean,

I've just downloaded library and built the http_client.cpp sample. Testing
it out by giving it the URL: http://www.google.com results in a "Missing
Transfer Encoding" exception. Looking the code in sync_connection_base.hpp I
see that either a Content-Length or Transfer-Encoding header is required.
However, the response fromwww.google.com does not contain a message body(I
assume because the Connection:close header was included in the request),
thus the presence of either of those headers are optional.  Thoughts?
