POST /UAALoginServerWAR/oauth/token fails with HTTP 411 status code

[leachbj]

Using cf-client 2.0.2 and reactor-core 3.0.3 the auth request fails with missing content-length header. Using 2.0.1 and 3.0.3 I can see content-length: 0

Here's the full request that fails.

POST /UAALoginServerWAR/oauth/token?client_id=cf&client_secret=&grant_type=password&password=<redacted>&username=<redacted> HTTP/1.1

host: mycfhost
content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
authorization: Basic <redacted>
accept: application/json

The labels on this github issue will be updated when the story is started.

What version of PCF/CF are you using? We removed that header because it appears that it isn't necessary in versions of the CF released in the last year or so.

POST requests one of content-length or transfer-encoding:chunked, they're both being removed so the POST request is invalid. A nice server might just assume the length=0 case for the missing headers but doesn't look like our version of cf does (or perhaps an intermediate proxy!).
