Content-length and chunked encoding

[hueniverse]

Who is responsible for preventing setting both length and chunked? The spec does now allow it but node doesn't care. Should it?

[trevnorris]

Is there an appropriate place where an error could be omitted? If not it would probably make sense to always favor the chunked field over the length field.

I regularly have to work with some poorly behaved clients, and have had to hack this in place to get things working:

res.useChunkedEncodingByDefault = false;
