This is a code review request for a late fix for JDK 12, to address a
what could be perceived as a potential regression.
Post 8211437 [1] the HTTP Client now disallows 204 responses with a
response body. It appears that this change may have been a little too
strict, by disallowing any response with a Content-Length header. It
seems reasonable to allow the special case where a content length of
zero is indicated. This is a small relaxing of the change for 8211437,
while keeping its most fundamental aspects.
