> Do not send the Content-Length header on HTTP/1.1 requests when the content length is known to be zero and the method does not expect content or is unknown.
> 
> This brings the HTTP/1.1 implementation in line with the recommendations from RFC 9110.
> 
> The existing ContentLengthHeaderTest was extended to cover the modified scenarios.
> 
> Tier1-3 tests continue to pass.

Daniel Jeliński has updated the pull request incrementally with one additional commit since the last revision:

  Check that content-length is sent on POST/PUT with empty body
