Thanks for the ping. It's a bit unclear https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=25684 seems to suggest that including `Content-Length` is good for `POST` and co, likely also for `HEAD`. Unclear for `GET`, though as far as I can tell browsers do not include it there.

We have a rule that forbids including a body for `GET` and `HEAD`. Perhaps we should have another that non-`GET` means `Content-Length` needs to be there.
