> HTTP/1.1 request messages that contain an entity body MUST contain > either a valid Content-Length field value or a Transfer-Encoding: chunked > entity header and a chunked entity body. It would be more general and simpler just to say that It must be possible for the recipient to reliably determine the end of a HTTP/1.1 request method containing an entity body, e.g., because the request has a valid Content-Length field, uses transfer-encoding: chunked or a multipart body. (Note that file upload suggests using multipart/form-data for posting; this form is self-delimiting and doesn't need either content-length *or* chunked encodings.)
