Re: [whatwg/fetch] Proposal: Support GET bodies (#83)

If you won't support GET bodies, at least consider ignoring a `Content-Length: 0` header when there is no body.  Here is an example of a library written in Ruby which includes that header and, like the Fetch devs here, are 100% convinced they are correct and close the tickets, the Ruby devs in this link are also convinced they are correct and refuse to change their behavior.

Please work it out.  I just need my 3rd libraries to stop fighting and come to an agreement. Let's have some pragmatism over pedantry and remember the "Robustness Principle":

> Be conservative in what you send, be liberal in what you accept.

Here's an example of a real-world issue I can't get resolved because no one can agree on what the spec is:
