Re: [libmicrohttpd] Status 304 and insistent Content-Length header

[silvioprog]

According to links below, the Content-Length should not even be returned in 304 responses:

So is there any way to remove the Content-Length from MHD responses?

Hello,

In some cases, we need to remove the Content-Length header, for example, when the status code is 304 (not modified), you don't need to send some content-* headers again. See this code:

https://github.com/expressjs/express/blob/master/lib/response.js#L192

Great, it makes sense, but unfortunatelly MHD always send the Content-Length header, even removing it with:

MHD_del_response_header(response, "Content-Length", "3"); // my content is just an "abc" string

Is the MHD_del_response_header() function skipping the Content-Length header?

Thank you!
