> **Issue**
> When using the `HttpClient.send()` to send a GET request created using the `HttpRequest.newBuilder()`, a `Content-length: 0` header is set. This behaviour causes issues with many services as a body related header is usually not expected to be included with a GET request.
>
> **Solution**
> `Http1Request.java` was modified so that when the request method is a GET, a `Content-length` header is not added to the request. However, if a developer chooses to include a body in a GET request (though it is generally considered bad practice), a `Content-length` header with the appropriate value will be added.
