#3410 — Can I stop sending content-length header?

I'm using php with IIS.  for some test,I hope php does not send back
"content-length" header.
I know using chunked transport-encoding can do it, but I don't want to
use chunked coding either.

In general, I know some http 1.0 server will not send "content-length"
header and just closing the connection to indicate content finished. I
want to simulate this behavior.  Can I do it some way?

Thanks a lot!

Not in PHP.  If you don't send a content-length header, it will be sent 
for you.  This is not http 1.0, and the rules are different.

That's bad!, no way to hack it.  Or I have to export my code from php
to python? Thanks any way!

I don't think you can stop python from doing it, either.

Using python seems can do everything. I already tried a simple python
code(using python itself without any other web server support) to do
it. but export all my php code to python will be a hard work.

Will this help:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php#96442

It still uses HTTP/1.1 but with a 204 response (as i try to understand 
what xxxbunker is doing there ;)

Have the client send a HTTP/1.0 request? Tell the server to server the
script as HTTP/1.0? I know Apache has some controls for that (see
"force-response-1.0"). Not sure you can do it in PHP though.
