Description

When sending a HTTP POST request with transfer-encoding: chunked, lighttpd sends a 411 content-length required error back.

Chunked transfer encoding was made for streaming data when the final content length is not known in advance, so lighttpd should not complain about the missing length.

This happens with lighttpd 1.4.31-4+deb7u3, but I found no bug in the bug tracker that was marked fixed in one of the later versions - so I think it still applies.

This is unlikely to get fixed in 1.4.x. lighttpd2 (our current development branch) supports it.
